Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation

The security indicator lamp is a red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) located on the electronic circuit board of the Compass Mini-Trip Computer within the overhead console. The LED extends through a hole in the computer lens located near the forward end of the overhead console housing. The security indicator lamp receives fused battery feed at all times and is grounded by the high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) to give a visible indication of the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) arming status.

The security indicator lamp LED cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire Compass Mini-Trip Computer unit must be replaced. Refer to Compass Mini-Trip Computer in the Removal and Installation of Overhead Console for the service procedures.
