1.0 Purpose

1.1 To serve as instructions for an Account Manager in the event that a vehicle cannot be

programmed or becomes inoperable while under our service, or if an AM is having difficulty and

has spent more than 30 minutes attempting to program a vehicle.


2.0 Scope

2.1 All disabled or believed disabled vehicles.

2.2 Failure to follow these instructions may result in the Account Manager being both held

responsible for any costs associated with the repair of the vehicle and subject to

disciplinary action.


3.0 Procedure

3.1 Troubleshoot

3.1.1 Do NOT spend more than 30 minutes working on a vehicle. If you are having trouble try

the following suggestions before moving on:

3.1.1.1 Hard reset/disconnect battery

3.1.1.2 Check if vehicle is in “transport mode”

3.1.1.3 If both above have been tried, disconnect battery for 15 minutes then try


programming again


3.1.2 If you can not get the vehicle running or programmed within half an hour STOP and

move to next step

3.2 Call your Territory Manager

3.2.1 Our Territory Managers are very knowledgeable. Most of the time the issue you are

experiencing is one we have seen before. Your TM should be able to talk you through

the fix or help you troubleshoot. If you can not reach your TM, call your Assistant TM.


3.3 Call Operations Support Number (888) 272-4901

3.3.1 The Operations support members will get you in contact with our technical support

group. This will allow the technical support group to contact you back to provide

additional support if needed or trouble shoot the vehicle.
