Security Indicator

The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system uses the security indicator as a status indicator. The Body Control Module (BCM) commands the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminated the security indicator on steady or to flash the security indicator only when the ignition switch is in the off position via the class 2 serial data circuit. The security indicator will be requested to flash or to be illuminated on steady under the following conditions:
^ The BCM will command the IPC to flash the security indicator when either front door is open.
^ The BCM will command the IPC to illuminated the security indicator on steady when either front door is open and the doors are locked by the power door lock switch or a lock command from the keyless entry system.
