NOTE:
When this code is present, the VTSS indicator will illuminate solid during the arming process. With the DRBIII®, record and erase DTC's.Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.With the DRBIII®, read DTC's.Operate the Decklid Cylinder Lock Switch several times while monitoring the DRBIII®.Does the DRBIII® display DECKLID SWITCH DISARM FAILURE?Yes --> Go To 2No --> The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present.Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring harness and connectors for a possible intermittent condition. |

| 3 | Disconnect the Decklid Cylinder Lock Switch connector. Connect a jumper wire between the Decklid Security Switch Sense circuit and the ground wire. With the DRBIII® in Inputs/Outputs, read the DECKLID KEY CYL SW state. Does the DRBIII® display CLOSED? Yes --> Replace the Decklid Cylinder Lock Switch. Perform VTSS VERIFICATION TEST - 1A .
