Default Security Lockout

Hi all,

Someone broke into my truck recently, the immobilizer saved it from being stolen, but the coil was damaged. I started the truck and got shut off by the immobilizer a few times and now it doesn't start at all and seems to be in some sort of lockout mode. Key on turns on instrument panel with no code. Run position doesn't do anything. No crank no click. After this I had a electronic professional repair the immobilizer and it seems to be repaired (no red light blinking).

Battery is good, ground. Starter is good. Mechanic couldn't figure out why but saying PCM is not receiving or sending proper ground signal or something. Dealer didn't comment about theft mode and only said that it couldn't communicate with the WIN module and asked for 2k to replace lock cylinder, WIN and key, and see IF IT HELPS. My truck only worths 3k according to KBB, so I towed it back.

I heard that there is such a thing as the truck got put into anti-theft mode, but can't find solid information how to bring it out.

Thank you.
