If you have an active theft event then we need to start with reviewing this guide and see if we can get the system to deactivate.

If not then we have an issue with the system that requires us to scan for codes and find out what the issue is.

I am attaching the info below on the way the system operates which will help with us figuring out what the issue could be.

Please run through this info and let us know what codes are there or what worked on deactivating the system.

Thanks
