Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you replaced the switch and reused the old lock assembly, the vehicle is in lock mode. The vehicle computer doesn't recognize the key/switch assembly and believes it is being stolen.

I looked for nearly 20 minutes trying to find the directions for the relearn, but nothing is available. You will most likely need it reset by a locksmith or dealership. It will require specialized tooling.

I wish I had an easier answer, but what was done as the code provide indicates the immobilizer has prevented starting the vehicle.

Let me know if I can help in any way or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
