Don't disconnect the battery as that starts it all over again. Starting on page 10 of the attached link is what you want to pay attention to. You have to go through different types of driving and this explains the necessary driving patterns to get the OBDII readiness test to pass first. This only helps if you're failing the readiness test. If you have DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) stored, you need to get them cleared. Many local autoparts stores, such as Oreilly and Autozone carry a scanning tool that can serve to reset the DTC's. Pay attention to see if they're current. If they are, try resetting them, but they'll probably come back. If they do, look into each code. They're often interrelated.
Here's the link for the OBDII readiness. Again, start on page 9.

I need to open the trunk of a 2000 Grand Prix. No key and trunk button does not work
Trunk button inside glove box or on a remote? If remote, the remote might just need a new battery.
Might be able to unlatch it from inside trunk. The back seat(s) generally fold down for more "trunk" room. Try getting inside from there. You can take to a locksmith or dealer. Otherwise, ruin the lock by shoving a screwdriver in there and turning it forcefully..
Water temp goes up and down
sounds like you may need a new thermostat and bleed air from cooling system properly, If after you replace this and problem still there, air may be getting in cooling system through damaged intake gasket, or head gasket. this make and model is known to have intake gasket problems
Check engine light comes on
check engine light coming on usually sets a fault code, have the car scanned at reputable garage or some parts stores offer scanning codes for free and they will give you an idea of why light is coming on
Temp riseing and dropping
why not check the coolant tank.. coz if it is empty the sensor cant real the real reading.. it is likely that if it is just the vapor. any sensor cant read the proper temp.
Unlock car door without keys
try a thin but strong piece of wire , a metal coat hanger straightened out is fine, put a hook on one end and carefully slide between door and frame and get the hook on the lock button and pull,you will need patience !
Starts then stalls
is your security light on? if so you will need a new key. Otherwise could be out of fuel/ fuel pump bad
The car makes a howling noise while driving it
well did the noise start after the tires were rotated?could be choppy tires,,,if not ,i strongly think it sounds like a bad wheel bearing,,,,if you drive and while its making the noise turn left and right quick and see if the noise gets louder and which way turning makes it louder,,if you turn leftand it gets louder its usually the right wheels bearing as you are putting load on it, if it makes the noise louder while turning right its the left wheel bearing,,,got it
