Vehicle ECU Initializations: Ensure the vehicle settings and initializations for door lock and remote engine starter are correct as per the repair manual. A. Make sure that “Communication Remote Engine Starter” in Techstream customized settings that is designed/intended for an add-on or aftermarket RES kit is set to “Not Available”. Customize>Others>Communication Remote Engine Starter > Not Available EXAMPLE: B. With the related DTCs cleared, perform the following registrations/initializations: i. Smart Key Live>ECU Communication ID Registration>Remote Engine Starter ii. Smart Key Live>ECU Communication ID Registration> I.D. Code Box/Steering Lock iii. Telematics>Remote Door Lock Setting NOTES: If settings are improper, related DTCs may include: B126A, B2779, U0198, and U1117. Performing these specific “initializations” can be safely done even if not needed. Make sure the Telematics initialization utility includes the words “door lock” as a general “initialization” titled utility may be unrelated and not supporting the door lock/unlock app. Make sure that any customized setting for remote door locks has the feature enabled. Do NOT use the Telematics “activation” utility for existing DCMs with established accounts. [This is only for new off-the-shelf DCMs when first installed into vehicles.] 4.
