Antitheft - Perimeter

The perimeter anti-theft system consists of the following:
^ driver door lock cylinder disarm switch
^ passenger door lock cylinder disarm switch
^ liftgate lock cylinder disarm switch
^ Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) module
^ door open warning lamp switch
^ keyless entry remote transmitter
^ hood switch/bracket assembly
^ theft indicator

The door open warning lamp switch communicates to the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module through the Generic Electronic Module (GEM). This input to the RAP will cause the anti-theft alarm to be sounded if the anti-theft alarm was armed.

The door disarm switches are attached to the LH, RH, and liftgate door lock cylinders. The door disarm switch must be triggered before the mechanical lock unlocks. This is to prevent the anti-theft alarm from activating when it should have been disarmed.

The RAP module controls the anti-theft system and the keyless entry system. The RAP module communicates with the GEM to request that the interior lights be turned ON/OFF with use of the keyless entry remote transmitter, and the GEM communicates to the RAP to inform when the door is opened. For module communication information, refer to Module Communication Network (Information Bus).

For additional information on the keyless entry remote transmitter, refer to Keyless Entry.

The perimeter alarm uses the door open warning lamp switch and hood switch. The RAP module also uses the autolock/relock feature to prevent theft of the vehicle. For additional information on the auto lock/relock system, refer to Keyless Entry.

The anti-theft indicator is found on the instrument panel to the right of the RH turn signal indicator. The THEFT indicator is shared by the RAP and PATS modules. The THEFT indicator is illuminated during prearming by the RAP module position. The passive anti-theft system will flash the THEFT indicator with the key off.
