What year is the truck? The VATS is different in different years, but generally speaking, if the SECUROTY lamp remains lit after the engine has started, that indicates that the system does not recognize the ignition key.

You may be operating in a non-secure mode. With some series of VATS (PASSKey and PASSKey-II), if an incorrect or intermittent signal is detected by the VATS after the engine is running, the VATS will allow the vehicle to be restarted, even with an existing failure. The SECURITY lamp will remain on to warn the driver that a VATS system fault is present. However, this also means that the car can be started w/o a correct key signal, and is therefore vulnerable to theft. An temporary/pending error code will also be set by the ECM/PCM in this mode.
