Theft Deterrent System -- System Description |
THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |
The theft deterrent system is designed to deter vehicle break-ins and theft. If an attempted break-in or theft is detected, the alarm sound and the hazard warning lights and side turn signal lights flash. The system detects an attempted break-in or theft when any of the following occurs: 1) the vehicle is forcibly entered; 2) the engine hood is forcibly opened; 3) the doors are unlocked without the use of a key; or 4) the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal and then reconnected. If the system enters the alarm sounding state, any unlocked doors automatically lock.
The system has an active arming mode (refer to Active Arming Mode).
Active arming mode has 4 states: disarmed state, arming preparation state, armed state and alarm sounding state.
Disarmed state:
- The alarm function is not operating.
- The theft deterrent system is not operating.
- The alarm function is not operating.
Arming preparation state:
The theft deterrent system is not operating.Armed state:
The theft deterrent system is operating.Alarm sounding state:
The alarm function is operating (30 +/-5 seconds).Alarm Method and Time Alarm Method Alarm Time Vehicle horns Security horn assembly Hazard warning lights and side turn signal lights Sounding (cycle of 0.4 seconds) Sounding (cycle of 0.4 seconds) Blinking (cycle of flasher relay) 30 +/-5 seconds - HINT:
- If, during the alarm sounding state, one of the doors is unlocked without using a proper key, a forced door lock signal is output (refer to Forced Door Lock Control).

- *2: for Arming Preparation State 10 Seconds
FORCED DOOR LOCK CONTROL |
Forced door lock control also helps to prevent the vehicle from being tampered with. When a door is unlocked and the alarm starts, the door is forced to lock by a forced door lock signal.
Conditions that force the doors to lock:
- 0.4 seconds have elapsed after the previous output of a forced door lock signal.
- The theft deterrent system is in the alarm sounding state.
- A door is unlocked.
- 0.4 seconds have elapsed after the previous output of a forced door lock signal.
SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT OUTPUT |
The security indicator light assembly turns on and off based on output signals from the theft warning ECU assembly. However, in some cases, the actual status of the security indicator light is different from the output signals from the theft warning ECU assembly.
Output State of Theft Deterrent System Security Indicator Light Assembly Output Signals from ECU Actual Lighting Condition Disarmed state Off Off (engine immobiliser system unset)
Blinking (engine immobiliser system set)Arming preparation state On On Armed state Off Blinking Alarm sounding state On On Blinking Cycle Time Security Indicator 0.2 seconds On 1.8 seconds Off - HINT:
- When the engine immobiliser system is set, the security indicator light assembly blinks during the disarmed state and armed state due to the output signals from the engine immobiliser system.
ALARM MEMORY FUNCTION |
The alarm memory function informs the user if the theft deterrent system entered the alarm sounding state while the user was away.
After the theft deterrent system is set, if the system enters the alarm sounding state and the alarm sounding state ends before the theft deterrent system is canceled by the user, the alarm memory function will operate. When the theft deterrent system is canceled by the user, the alarm memory function will flash the hazard warning lights 3 times at 0.35 seconds intervals.
