Circuit Operation

The Universal Theft Deterrent System (RPO UA6) operates separately from the personal automotive security system (PASS-Key II). The system is designed to provide a warning in the event of force entry through the doors and trunk. When a forced entry is attempted, the alarm waining system trips, causing the horn to sound intermittently and the exterior lamps to flash in unison for approximately 3 minutes. The universal theft deterrent system does not affect engine starting.

The alarm is tripped by closing switches strategically located in the door latch assemblies and the luggage compartment lock cylinder tamper switch. If any door is opened or luggage compartment lock cylinder violated by rotating or moving in and out without the key, the controller activates the alarm.

Refer to the following procedures:
^ Arming the system.
^ Disarming the system.
^ Locking without arming.
^ Deactivating the alarm.
