If your Dodge Journey's anti-theft system malfunctions, the first step you should take is to attempt to reset it. Simply place the key in the on position without starting the engine. Wait for the security light on the dashboard to turn off before starting the car, which may take around ten minutes. If this doesn't resolve the issue, it's recommended to bring your vehicle to a Dodge dealership. They can examine the alarm system and body control module to identify any potential faults preventing your car from starting.

Oh my goodness, what the heck! So, my Dodge Journey has a push-button start feature. To reset the anti-theft system, you need to press the start button until the car is in the "run" position. Make sure not to have your feet on any pedals while doing this. After that, press the brake pedal and hold it down. Then, reach over, pull the gearshift down to "Neutral," and keep holding the brake pedal.

To reset the anti-theft system on your Dodge Journey, start by lifting the hood. Use pliers or a wrench to disconnect the positive cable end from the plug. Access your car's fuse box and locate the diagram. Find the "ECM" fuse and remove it. Leave the car in this state for two to three minutes to erase the machine's memory.

Hey, I'm Aaron. I drive a 2009 Dodge Journey and recently got locked out of it for a few days. The issue is that when I lock my car, the alarm goes off around 3-4 am. I tried using my keyfob during these incidents, but it didn't work despite having a new battery. I managed to unlock the car with a slim jim and found that the keyfob started working again when I entered. Is there a fuse or some other solution to disable the anti-theft system and prevent these recurring lockouts?

Two mechanics examined my Dodge Journey, and they were unable to reset the immobilizer. Despite this, they couldn't resolve the issue. Their suggestion was to let go of the car.
