Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Theft System

SECURITY
The IPC illuminates the SECURITY indicator as determined by the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system. The IPC receives a discrete input from the theft deterrent controller module requesting illumination.
^ The VTD system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON. The VTD system uses the indicator as a malfunction indicator.
^ The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system uses the theft LED and does not use the SECURITY indicator.

Theft LED
The Body Control Module (BCM) illuminates the theft LED (on top of the dash) based on the current Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system operation mode.

The theft LED operates in the following modes:
^ ON
^ OFF
^ Flashing slow
^ Flashing fast
