Anti-Theft Perimeter Protection Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Windstar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The anti-theft perimeter protection feature is controlled by the front electronic module (FEM), the rear electronic module (REM), and the remote keyless entry (RKE)(driver door module [DDM]) module. This feature is configurable to the FEM and REM. The alarm can be armed using the remote transmitter to the RKE (DDM) module which sends a message via the network link to the FEM, or by using the driver door lock switch. The FEM and REM will then monitor all features which will activate the alarm. These features are:

All door ajar switches
Hood and liftgate ajar switches
Radio, and ignition switch, anti-theft switches
diagnostic access to the SCP network

Additionally, a single security hardwire from the FEM to the REM is monitored for an open.

Once the alarm has been armed, if any of the above features receive any activation, the alarm will then activate the visual and audible alerts.
