BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM
The burglar alarm system is armed automatically after the doors, hood, and trunk lid (tailgate) are closed and locked by transmitter or the key.

The system is set off when any of these things occur :
- A door is forced open.
- A door is unlocked without using the transmitter.
- The trunk lid (tailgate) is opened without using the key.
- The hood is opened.
- The engine starter circuit and battery circuit are bypassed by breaking the ignition switch.

When the system is set off, the alarm (horn) sounds and the hazard lamp flash for about two minutes or until the system is disarmed by unlocking the transmitter or the key.

For the system to arm, the ignition switch must be off and the key removed. Then, the body control module must receive signals that the doors, hood, and trunk lid (tailgate) are closed and locked. When everything is closed and locked, none of the control unit inputs are grounded.

The door switches, hood switch and trunk lid (tailgate) switch are all close and lock the doors with the remote transmitter or the key and then the system arms immediately.

If anything is opened or improperly unlocked after the system is armed, the body control module gets a ground signal from that switch, and the system is set off.

If one of the switches is misadjusted or there is a short in the system, the system will not arm. As long as the body control module continues to get a ground signal, it thinks the vehicle is not closed and locked and will not arm.The receiver is integrated in the body control module.
