Door Ajar Switches

The CTD system uses the door and hatch ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to activate the alarm. The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors all door ajar switches via a discrete input from each door ajar switch. If the BCM receives a ground signal from a door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
