Test H: Panic Feature Does Not Operate Properly

  1. Press PANIC button on remote transmitter. If panic feature operates properly, program unprogrammed remote transmitter(s). See REMOTE TRANSMITTER  under PROGRAMMING. Recheck system operation. If horn does not sound and lights do not flash, go to next step. If horn sounds but lights do not flash, diagnose hazard lights. If lights flash but horn does not sound on vehicle equipped with anti-theft, go to step  3.
  2. Program both remote transmitters. See REMOTE TRANSMITTER  under PROGRAMMING. Press PANIC button on either remote transmitter. If panic feature operates properly, system in okay at this time. If panic feature does not operate properly, go to step  4.
  3. Sound horn using horn switch on steering wheel. If horn sounds, go to next step. If horn does not sound, repair horn circuit as necessary. See HORN in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
  4. Check GEM connectors for corrosion, damaged or pushed out pins. Repair as necessary. Reconnect any disconnected connectors. Ensure all system connectors are fully seated and tight. Recheck system operation. If fault still exists, replace GEM. See GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If fault no longer exists, problem may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
