Vehicle Theft Security System

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition off before disconnecting or connecting any control module connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to control module.
NOTE: Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRBIII(R)) scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located on bottom of instrument panel, to left of brake pedal. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). See ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  table. Perform corresponding DTC test(s) under SYSTEM TESTS.
