The Dodge Stratus' anti-theft system cannot be reset by the owner and requires special software for a hard reset, which is only available at a dealership. The cost of resetting the Anti-Theft Module is typically less than $100. If the alarm goes off accidentally, you can deactivate it by pressing the "unlock" button on the Stratus' RKE transmitter or manually turning the key in the driver's door lock. Both methods will reset the alarm. However, to turn off an interior anti-theft warning light, you must have the module reprogrammed by a certified dealer or Dodge expert.
To reprogram the security system on a Dodge Stratus, first lock and unlock the car using the key slot on the door. Then, insert the key into the ignition and keep it turned to the on position for a minimum of 10 minutes.
I just purchased a 2006 Dodge Stratus, but it's missing the key module and the security light is illuminated on the dashboard. I suspect it's the interior security system. The previous owner didn't have the security module. How can I resolve this issue so I can drive the car?
I recently bought a 2004 Dodge Stratus RT coupe, but I'm having trouble starting it because of the anti-theft system. When I try to start the car by turning the key, a continuous beeping noise begins. How can I disable this?
