That's normal when you install the security system for the first time. At this time the ICM is not recognizing the new TSSM ... it takes about a half hour.

Since you have an '06 earlier model you can do it yourself. The '07 later models have the Smart Security system which must be done at the dealer.

It is not really difficult, but looks confusing on paper. You are just basically repeating one step three times in a row.

I can pm you the paper instructions if you want.
