Remote Anti-Theft Personality Module

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.







2. Remove the LH front door scuff plate.







3. Remove the LH cowl side trim panel.







4. Disconnect the two Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module electrical connectors.
1 Disconnect C257.
2 Disconnect C256.

NOTE: If C256 is disconnected first, an inadvertent IGNTAM alarm event (AL__EVT) will be stored and the alarm will sound. The alarm must be disarmed by the remote unlock button or a key in the door lock cylinder to UNLOCK. To avoid this condition, disconnect (1) C257 before (2) C256 and reconnect (2) C256 before (1) C257.

INSTALLATION







1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

NOTE
- When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.
- To avoid inadvertent alarm activation, reconnect C256 first.
