Unhappy Security light wont go out while the car is running

My problem is when i first started my 94 z28 this morning the SECURITY light came on and was on while the car was running... Well i figured it would go off when i would restart it but it did, so for the whole day the light has been shining bright in my eyes and not causing any problems...

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?


Thanks

When the light comes on while driving, it usually means there was a failure in the theft deterrent system detected (but obviously after the engine was running). In this case, the system will continue to allow you to operate the car and will not keep it from starting. There is also no theft protection during this time. It can very well be caused by the module not detecting the key. If whatever is wrong is corrected, the lamp will go out by itself after a few minutes.

my security light has been on for over 2 1/2 years since I bought the car. No problems yet!
