I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating.
Without knowing all of the information like the vehicle history, the components that have been tested or replaced, and the results of any tests that need to be run, I can only give you a general answer to your question.
I recommend trying locking and unlocking the doors with the metal key if equipped to see if that resets the security system fault. In some cases locking and unlocking with the key will reset it.
If there is no metal key and no metal key slot then the security system has to be reset using a dealer's scan tool plugged into your vehicle's data port. They will usually charge around $100 to reset and reprogram if needed to resolve this issue.
