NOTE: The intrusion and inclination protection features cannot be activated with the door disarm switch. This feature is used to allow raising the vehicle on a hoist, transporting or towing the vehicle, or when authorized motion inside the vehicle is likely.

Normal Operation
The door disarm switch is located in the driver door lock cylinder and grounds circuit 1315 (LB/PK) or circuit 1313 (LB/BK) to the smart junction box (SJB) which arms or disarms the system. The ajar switches are monitored for a ground signal by the SJB. Ground is supplied to the door disarm switch by circuit 1205 (BK). When an arm request is received by the SJB, the switch positions are queried. If any door, hood, or luggage compartment lid is ajar, the lights do not flash and all closed doors arm, or the horn chirps twice and the doors arm if the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter is pressed twice within 3 seconds.

Possible Causes
- circuit 1205 (BK) open
- circuit 1313 (LB/BK) open or short to ground
- circuit 1315 (LB/PK) open or short to ground
- door disarm switch
- SJB
