System Components

REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK TRANSMITTER
The remote transmitter is the primary device to disarm the theft deterrent system. If the vehicle has universal theft deterrent, the remote transmitter has a panic button. Press this button to sound the car alarm; press it again to turn the alarm off. As with the other functions, operation of this feature is subject to the range of the transmitter.

SHOCK SENSOR
The chock sensor is located near the spare tire in the rear of the vehicle. Its sensitivity has been set to comply with various local regulations requiring vehicle contact to set off the alarm. It can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is desired. If sensitivity is increased too much, it may give false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural events that may shake the vehicle. To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment knob and adjust as desired. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity. Turn counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity. The red lamp on the shock sensor illuminates at shock levels that would cause the full (2 minute) alarm to sound. Different levels of shock are required on the various body panels and windows to activate the sensor, depending on the material (plastic, steel or glass) and distance from the shock sensor. Two levels of alarms are available through the shock sensor.
^ Two horn blasts and lamp flashes for non-threatening blow to the vehicle.
^ A full 2 minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle.

The shock sensor is ignored by the system during ignition ON, when the rear compartment lift window panel is open, when the alarm is disarmed, 5 seconds after the horn sounds, or when customized to be ignored.

THEFT DETERRENT RELAY
The theft deterrent relay controls the park lamps. The Body Control Module (BCM) provides a ground path for the relay when the theft deterrent is activated.
