Cadillac SRX won't start with anti-lock symbol illuminated on Cadillac SRX

Some Cadillac SRX owners report experiencing starting issues when the anti-lock symbol is illuminated on the dashboard, indicating that the anti-theft system may be activated. This situation can occur due to suspected unauthorized access or an unrecognized key, which prevents the vehicle from starting. Owners have found that resetting the anti-theft system by turning off the vehicle and waiting briefly before attempting to restart may help the system recognize the key properly. Additionally, problems with key recognition can trigger the anti-theft system, so ensuring the correct key is being used is crucial. Weak or faulty batteries can also contribute to starting problems, prompting owners to check battery connections and overall condition. If these steps do not resolve the issue, seeking professional assistance from a mechanic or contacting a Cadillac dealership is recommended for further diagnosis and support.
