Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Vehicle Security System Deactivation
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door or the back door must be unlocked with the key, key fob or Intelligent Key.
When the key is used to unlock a door, BCM terminal 22 receives signal
- from terminal 14 of the power window main switch (door lock and unlock switch).
When the BCM receives either one of these signals or unlock signal from key cylinder switch, key fob or Intelligent Key, the vehicle security system is deactivated. (Disarmed phase)
