Theft System

The IPC illuminates the SECURITY indicator in the message center 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 BCM 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.
^ ON
^ OFF
^ Flashing slow
^ Flashing fast

If the SECURITY indicator flashes or stays ON continuously during the vehicle operation, refer to the system diagnosis.
