Power Locks - Double Activation Unlock

STANDARD PROCEDURE - DOUBLE ACTIVATION UNLOCK

The toggling of the double activation unlock feature (between enabled and disabled) can be performed with the use of the DRB III(R) scan tool, or by the customer.

DRB III(R) PROGRAMMING When using the DRB III(R) scan tool, select:
1. "Theft Alarm"
2. "VTSS"
3. "Miscellaneous " and then the desired function.

Customer Programming
1. Open the driver door, sit in the driver seat, and close the driver door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position (without starting the vehicle) and then back to OFF. Repeat this step three additional times (for a total of four key ON/OFF cycles).
3. Within ten seconds of switching the ignition switch to the OFF position for the last time (at the end of the fourth cycle in the above step), press the driver interior door lock switch to UNLOCK.
4. A single chime will be heard to verify that the customer programmable toggle of the double activation unlock was successfully completed.

Steps 2 and 3 must be completed within 10 seconds.

NOTE: When toggling the double activation unlock feature (customer programmable), the toggle that happens will be from the last state of the double activation unlock. If the double activation unlock feature was enabled, after the toggle process, it will now be disabled and vice versa. There is no telltale to inform you of which state the double activation unlock feature is in.
