The theft deterrent system on this vehicle is comprised of 2 separate systems:
| • | The vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system |
| • | The optional content theft deterrent (CTD) system |
VTD prevents drive away theft by keeping the vehicle from starting. CTD is the vehicle alarm system which discourages unauthorized entry into the vehicle. These systems are described and diagnosed separately within this section.
Theft System Indicator(s)
SECURITY
The IPC illuminates the SECURITY indicator as determined by the vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system and the content theft deterrent (CTD) system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the rear integration module (RIM) or the theft deterrent control module requesting illumination.
| • | The VTD system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON. The VTD system uses the indicator as a status indicator. |
| • | The CTD system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD system uses the indicator in order to identify system status. |
THEFT ATTEMPT DETECTED - 40
The IPC illuminates the THEFT ATTEMPT DETECTED - 40 indicator in the DIC when the rear integration module (RIM) detects a potential vehicle theft. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the RIM requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
Keyless Entry System (w/AU0)
The keyless entry system functions interact with the content theft deterrent system but is diagnosed as a stand-alone system. Refer to Keyless Entry System Description and Operation in Keyless Entry.
Radio with Theftlock
The theft deterrent system does not interact with radio theft lock equipped vehicles. Radio theft lock is diagnosed as a stand-alone system. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in Entertainment.
