Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If system arming has been requested by the keyless entry transmitter, it must be disarmed.

IMPORTANT: Using the power door unlock switch or manually unlocking the doors does not disable the Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) armed mode. Also, disconnecting the battery or pulling fuses does not disable the armed mode, since the body control module (BCM) stores the CTD mode status in memory.

To disarm the CTD System in arm pending mode, SECURITY indicator flashing and doors open, perform one of the following:
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid key into the ignition and start the vehicle.
To disarm the CTD System in the armed mode:
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid key into the ignition and start the vehicle.
To disarm the CTD System when activated, alarming mode.
- Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
- Insert a valid key into the ignition and start the vehicle.
