Hello all,

All of the sudden, I cannot unlock or lock the car with the keyless entry
FOB and cannot arm the security system. It used to arm even when I used the
power door lock and shut the door. No fuses are blown. Neither FOB works
and one has a new battery so it isn't the battery. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Jamie

It may be in 'valet' mode.
check www.cars101.com or maybe your manual or someone here has the
'routine' to reset it.

Agreed. I don't know how many times I've walked around the car pushing the
button. Eventually, it has always worked but not this time. However, I
went out this morning and, out of habit, hit the button and it worked. So
WTF. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Thanks.

I think I saw those instructions in Drive but now it is working again so I
won't have to deal with...now.
Thanks.
