Operation - Vehicle Theft Security System: Enabling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The CTM must have the VTSS function electronically enabled in order for the VTSS to perform as designed. The logic in the CTM keeps its VTSS function dormant until it is enabled using a DRBIII(R) scan tool. The VTSS function of the CTM is enabled on vehicles equipped with the VTSS option at the factory, but a service replacement CTM must be VTSS-enabled by the dealer using a DRBIII(R) scan tool. Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES .
