Theft Systems Description and Operation: Notes

When armed, the content theft deterrent (CTD) system is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the CTD system does not affect engine starting.

An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the CTD system armed:

• When any door is opened without first being unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter
• After a battery reconnect, if the battery was disconnected with the CTD system armed

The components of the CTD system are:

• Body Control Module (BCM)
• Security indicator
• Door ajar switches
• Liftgate ajar switch
