Rets,
It could be that you were experiencing some miscommunication between your skreem and another component; i have heard of others on this forum correcting skreem-like symptoms with a simple battery disconnect and reconnect. My guess is that several things can lead to skreem symptoms but not all of them involve the skreem module itself. The only time you can be really certain its your Skreem module is after having it tested (post-failure) or when everything else doesnt work.
Things that could cause similar symptoms include the RCM, the supposed battery of the SKREEM, the crankshaft position sensor, possible FOB to SKREEM problems, and probably more.
If you experience the previously detailed symptoms, and they are not alleviated by the suggestions i posted previously including the crankshaft pos sensor suggestions by others, then it may be time to take a look at the SKREEM module itself via the dealer.
Kolme
(feel free to ask more questions, as ive been through this situation twice now and have done a ton of research)
