Vehicle Theft Alarm: Enabling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Jeep Commander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EMIC must have the VTA function electronically enabled in order for the VTA to perform as designed. The logic in the EMIC keeps its VTA function dormant until it is enabled using a diagnostic scan tool. The VTA function of the EMIC is enabled on vehicles equipped with the VTA option at the factory, but a service replacement EMIC must be VTA-enabled by the dealer using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
