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)
ALARM OCCURRED - 40 (with DIC)
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the ALARM OCCURRED - 40
indicator in the driver information center (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.
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 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. |
SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM - 34 (with DIC)
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM - 34 indicator
in the DIC when the following occurs:
| • | The theft deterrent control module detects a malfunction in the theft
system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the theft deterrent control
module requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio
in order to activate an audible warning. |
| • | The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the theft
deterrent control module. |
STARTING DISABLED - THEFT - 33 (with DIC)
The IPC illuminates the STARTING DISABLED - THEFT - 33
indicator in the DIC when the theft deterrent control module disables the vehicle
from starting. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the theft deterrent
control module requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to
the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
Theft LED
The RIM illuminates the theft LED in the instrument panel (IP) upper pad, based
on the current system operation mode. The theft LED operates in the following modes:
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.
