Pinpoint Test D: The Alarm System Does Not Arm/No Turn Signal Flash Confirmation
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) controls the perimeter alarm system and based on inputs either arms, disarms or activates the alarm. When the alarm is activated, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) sounds the horn and flashes the turn signals in regular intervals. The SJB (Smart Junction Box) receives inputs for the door lock status, hood ajar, door ajar, luggage compartment lid ajar and the intrusion and inclination sensor. The SJB (Smart Junction Box) also receives signals from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters.
For the perimeter alarm to arm and provide a flash of the turn signals, the following conditions must be met:
- Ignition must be OFF
- The hood closed
- All doors closed
- The luggage compartment lid closed
- An electronic lock command received from an RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter or door lock control switch (a door opened and then shut after lock is pressed).
Once all the conditions are met, the alarm system enters a pre-arm phase and begins a 20-second countdown. After 20 seconds have passed and no unlock command is received or any hood or door is opened, the perimeter alarm arms.
The perimeter alarm is activated when:
- any door, the hood, or the luggage compartment lid is opened without an electronic unlock command from an RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter or driver door lock cylinder first.
- the intrusion and inclination sensor detects movement inside the vehicle or the vehicle angle has been changed.
- the ignition is turned to the RUN position without a valid Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key read received.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Door ajar input
- Hood ajar input
- Luggage compartment lid ajar input
- Turn signals
- Intrusion and inclination sensor
- RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter concern
- SJB (Smart Junction Box)

D1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs IN THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) AND BCM-B (Body Control Module B)
- Retrieve the recorded DTCs from the SJB (Smart Junction Box) AND Body Control Module B (BCM-B) self-tests.
Are any DTCs present?
Yes
REFER to DTC Charts Anti-Theft - Perimeter.
No
GO to D2.
D2 CHECK THE COURTESY LAMP OPERATION
- Open and close all the doors while checking the courtesy lamp operation.
Do the courtesy lamps operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D3.
No
REFER to Lighting and Horns to diagnose the door ajar inputs.
D3 CHECK THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LAMP OPERATION
- Latch and release the luggage compartment lid latch while checking the luggage compartment lamp operation.
Does the luggage compartment lamp operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D4.
No
REFER to Lighting and Horns to diagnose the luggage compartment lid ajar input.
D4 VERIFY THE HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
- Place the hazard switch in the ON position.
Do the hazard lamps operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D5.
No
REFER to Lighting and Horns to diagnose the hazard lamps.
D5 CHECK THE RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) TRANSMITTER FUNCTION
- Using the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter, lock and unlock the doors and operate the panic function.
Do the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter functions operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D6.
No
REFER to Doors, Hood and Trunk &/or Locks to diagnose the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) function.
D6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB (Smart Junction Box) OPERATION
- Disconnect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
