RECEIVER





An intrusion sensor receiver (1) is part of the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The premium version of the VTA is only available in vehicles built for certain markets, where the additional features offered by this system are required. This unit is designed to work in conjunction with the intrusion sensor transmitter to provide interior motion detection inputs to the intrusion module, which serves as the interface between the Front Control Module (FCM), the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and the alarm siren.

The receiver is located in the passenger compartment, where it is concealed above the headliner. A molded plastic mounting bracket with three integral latch features is secured to the right front corner of the overhead console housing and engages three latch tabs integral to the receiver housing. The ultrasonic receiver transducer (2) is aimed through a small dedicated round opening in the right side of the overhead console forward of the reading lamps and is the only evidence of the receiver that is visible from the passenger compartment.

Concealed within the molded plastic receiver housing is the circuitry of the receiver which includes the receive transducer. The receiver is connected through an integral connector receptacle (3) to the vehicle electrical system by a take out and connector of the overhead wire harness that is integral to the headliner.

The intrusion sensor receiver cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced. The receiver mounting bracket is serviced as a unit with the overhead console.
