Panic Function

Pressing the panic button on the RKE transmitter will cause the headlamp relay, the park lamp relay, and the horn relay to pulsate, which in turn will cause the exterior lamps to flash and the horn to sound intermittently. It will also cause the courtesy lamp relay to actuate, turning on the courtesy lamps. Pressing the panic button again stops the headlamps and the park lamps from flashing and the horn from sounding. However, the courtesy lamps will remain on until either the BCM times out lamp operation or until the ignition is turned on. The panic feature operates for three minutes at a time, unless the operator cancels it, or the ignition is turned on.

Actuating the headlamp, horn, park lamps, and courtesy lamps with the DRBIII® will verify if the circuits and the Integrated Power Module are OK. If the panic feature is still inoperable with all transmitters, it will be necessary to replace the SKREEM. If the function is inoperable with just one transmitter, then replace only that transmitter.
