Key stuck in ignition switch Sign In

2005 cadillac srx key is stuck in ignition switch , has service code p1629 car was running. Shut car off now will not restart, also have service theft deterrent message on message center. Could the transponder in the key have gone bad ?

The transponder didn't cause the switch to lock up. Chances are the issue is in the lock itself and that would lead to the theft deterrent failure.

The P1629 means the engine computer didn't get the fuel enable password from the theft deterent control module when the ignition was on.

Can you rotate the lock cylinder in any direction?

If you have a capable scan tool, check the other controllers (besides the PCM) for “U” codes. Check the messaging status of the controllers, do they ”see” the PCM?
1. Using the scanner go to Output Tests in the Dash Integration Module (DIM). Select "Park Key Lock Relay". Command the solenoid on.

2. Check for key release. Use the scanner to "Ping" the modules. Identify the module that will not respond.

3. If the ECM does not respond to the ping it is still possible to communicate with it over the CAN Bus. Disconnect the PCM.

4. Identify the Purple wire at pin 48 on connector C2. Establish communications with the DIM. Using a suitable jumper short the Purple wire to ground. The scanner should go to "No Communications".

5. If it does verify power supplies to the ECM. If OK, verify the ground strap is providing a good ground for the ECM.

6. If OK replace the ECM.

Why was the ECM replaced?

Quick read - sorry. If you can't move or remove the key why are you messing with anything else until you can and that problem may require a new lock cylinder and subsequent reprogramming then if a no go take it from there,
