Hi Glenn:
When you say scan tool, do you mean OBDII scanner ?
I am told by the seller and the owner's manual notes it that the vehicle is equipped with a factory installed theft alarm that monitors doors and the hatch and has an audio component and a vehicle disablement feature.
The triggering of alarm may be just random because if the vibration should set it off, it should trigger it most of the time doors/hatch/hood are shut, but it does not, in fact most of the time when we unlock the vehicle with the remote, it turns off the security and it does stay that way until the vehicle re-arms itself after all doors remain closed for sometime.
The interesting thing is that the vehicle has an Avital brand remote and not a Chrysler remote and its panic button does not work, and it appears (my thought) that the false triggering may the turning on of the panic mode. I am hoping that getting a properly functioning remote might solve this problem.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Matt
