Intrusion Module: Description
An intrusion module (1) is part of the premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The premium version of the VTA is only available in vehicles built for certain markets, where the additional features offered by this system are required. The intrusion module is located in the passenger compartment. This unit is designed to work in conjunction with the intrusion sensor transmitter and intrusion sensor receiver to provide interior motion detection and serves as the interface between the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), and the alarm siren.
The intrusion module has two integral mounts (2) that are secured by two screws underneath the instrument top cover, just above the center stack. Concealed within the molded plastic housing is the circuitry of the module, which includes a microprocessor. The module is connected to the vehicle electrical system wire harness.
The intrusion module unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
