Theft System Light on 2004 Chevy Classic

I have a 2004 Chevy Classic with a 2.2L 4 cyl. My theft system light has been on for a few days but the vehicle still starts. I have had to do the relearn procedure in the past but not lately. I purchased and replaced the lock cylinder that has the passlock sensor on it and the light is still on. While I had the dash still apart I decided to try to start it with the passlock sensor unplugged and it miraculously still started and stayed running. I am lost and looking for more ideas as to what to check next.

I don't see how that is possible if the system hasn't been modified in some way.
How many wires were in that plug and what color wires?

I have not modified the system myself, but did notice a bad hack job under the dash (not impressed). The passlock sensor wires had some visible splices but no resistors or anything in them. I cut out the hacks on those 3 and resoldered them. The main yellow ignition wire also had a wierd splice in it which I removed and resoldered back together as well. My neighbor has a scan tool and there is no body codes in the system either.

The PCM won't supply injector pulse unless it receives the correct password from the BCM so something is definitely wrong with this scenario.

The 3 wires were yellow, black, and white. Like I said I am baffled as is the neighbor who is a mechanic as well. I just wish I could get the light to go out as I am tired of looking at it.

The system can't operate without the Passlock sensor so something has been messed with there. They make a bypass kit that is used for remote starts and someone may have installed one on there.

I know the vehicle was at a rental car outlet before i purchased it. I did not get any key fobs or remotes with it. I thought it did not look right with all the splicing under the dash. I have not seen any boxes or anything else that does not look like it belongs.

Something is supplying the password to the PCM or it wouldn't run and if it's not the ignition switch, something else is.

Any ideas what I should look for or do I just let it be?

You're going to need a professional scan tool to look at the BCM and the Passlock data and status.
