tmat3 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi, I had my keys reprogrammed because the dealer had to change the ECU for the Cooling fan fix. Since then, the security light has been blinking 3 times every few seconds even when the car is running. Does anyone know what this means? When the car shuts off, and I lock the doors, it goes back to regular fast blinks for 30 seconds, then 2 blinks. I talked to the dealer and they had no clue. So, they said they'd call the tech line, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 maybe valet mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmat3 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thought it was the valet mode, and tried turning on and off, but didn't work. I even tried disconnecting the battery for 3 hours, but nope. still blinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mR.dnA Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 You said you just got some keys reprogrammed - take it back, they probably just left the ECU in programming mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Are you using the valet key? It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coelli Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 mR.dnA is right. It's not valet mode, they just left the ECU in programming mode - same thing happened to me when I bought my car and they cut extra keys & fobs for it. It took the shop a while to figure out what it was and they also had to call the tech line, but once they knew it took like 2 minutes to correct. They were guessing valet mode at first, too. Note that the manual tells you what's up if it's blinking once, twice, four, or five times but not three. -Coelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmat3 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I thought it was the ecu programming mode, but I couldn't find anything to confirm my theory. But, you guys kind of confirmed it. I'm supposed to take it back to the dealer on Thu and let them figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
