SECURITY

The Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system utilizes the IPC to control the VTD functions. The IPC illuminates the SECURITY indicator when it detects a malfunction with the VTD system. The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system utilizes the body control module (PZM) to control the VTD functions. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PZM 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 malfunction 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.
^ The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
