Theft System Indicator

The IPC illuminates the theft deterrent indicator as determined by the theft deterrent system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.
^ The Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON.
^ The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is in the OFF or ACC positions or during RAP.
^ The body control module performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
