Is anyone aware of a workaround for a theft light always being on on a dashboard that mostly does not function. Is there a work around to bypass the theft light?

From my WSM "CAN Protection Strategy. When the perimeter alarm is armed, the BCM monitors the CAN. If a scan tool is connected to the DLC, and an attempt is made to establish a session with the BCM, it activates the perimeter alarm. Every time the BCM detects an unauthorized access (alarm activates), all BCM programming, PID monitoring and self-test sessions are blocked for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minute time period, the traffic horn chirps to indicate the 1 minute of opportunity to communicate with the BCM and program keys if none are available."

That is ALL I have.
