Disarming An Armed System/Silencing An Alarm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If system arming has been requested by the power door lock switch or the keyless entry transmitter, it must be disarmed.

Important: Using the power door unlock switch or manually unlocking the doors does not disable the CTD arm mode. Also, disconnecting the battery or pulling fuses does not disable the arm mode, since the BCM stores the CTD mode status in memory.

To disarm the CTD system in standby mode (theft LED flashing fast and door(s) open), perform one of the following:
- Press either power door unlock switch.
- Use the key to unlock either front door.
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position.
To disarm the CTD system in the armed mode:
- Use the key to unlock the either front door.
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position
To disarm the CTD system when activated (alarming mode).
- Use the key to unlock either front door.
