My push start button is flashing along with the security icon on dash. The car won’t crank at all.

This means we have an active security issue or a problem with the system.

If this just started one day, then I suspect there is a problem with the system, and we should check for codes as I suspect we will have some that will tell us what is going on.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

What we can do right now is check these two tables and find out if both keys are doing the same thing. If they are then you will use table one if not, then we have an issue with that key.

Also, we can try to take your key and press the button using the actual key.

This is an override feature when there is an issue with the key detection system so if that works then that is another sign the key is the possible issue.

Let's run through this and let us know what questions you have.

Thanks
