Another way to turn the autolock feature off/on is by following this series of steps:

  1. Close all doors.
  2. Confirm that the key is in the OFF position.
    3. NOTE: Steps 3 through  8 must be carried out within 30 seconds.
  3. Turn the key from the OFF to the RUN position.
  4. Press UNLOCK 3 times.
  5. Turn the key from the RUN to the OFF position.
  6. Press UNLOCK 3 times.
  7. Turn the key from the OFF to the RUN position. The enable/disable mode is now ready to accept program changes.
  8. Press UNLOCK once to command the vehicle security module to toggle the autolock/relock feature OFF.
  9. Press LOCK once to enter the command.
  10. Verify that the horn chirps 1 time. There should only be 1 chirp indicating that the autolock/relock feature is disabled. If 1 chirp is heard followed by a longer sound of the horn, the autolock/relock feature has just been enabled. Return to Step 10.
  11. Turn the key to the OFF position to exit the enable/disable mode.
