Warning light: red car with key flashing - what does it mean?

ocfoilist

Hey all,

Does anyone know what the blinking light just below the check engine light represents? It's a red car with a key in the middle. It was flashing just before my steering lock assembly went out on me. The dealer just replaced the assembly last week but I got this blinking light again this evening when I started the car. It only flashed for a few seconds but I also noticed that it took me 6 or 7 presses of the fob to open the car door.

I also got a check engine light at the same time (when I started the car). I have HFC which do occasionally throw a CEL but when I plugged in my CEL reader I am now getting a "Link Error" telling me to turn the car off and back on. Unfortunately, no amount of turning the car off and back on seems to resolve this.

Thank you!
