Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2003 Chevrolet Venture. 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 RCDLR, it must be disarmed.

Important: Using the power door unlock switch or manually unlocking the door 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 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.
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.
To disarm the CTD system when activated (alarming mode).
- Use the key to unlock either front door.
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
