Antitheft Relay: Description and Operation

STARTER INTERRUPT RELAY/HEADLIGHT ALARM RELAY




The starter interrupt relay, activates by a signal from the security control module, interrupts the starter circuit keeping the starter from operation.

In armed state, the system will not activate the starter interrupt relay and starter circuit functions normally.

The system activates the starter interrupt relay when the system is in alarm state, and keep this condition until the system is turned to disarmed state.

The headlight alarm relay is adopted in headlight circuit, and this relay activates when the security system is in alarm state.

In alarm state, the security control module switches the output signal ON-OFF alternately to flash the headlight via a headlight alarm relay.

The starter interrupt and headlight alarm relays employ the same parts and are interchangeable.

The starter interrupt relay and headlight alarm relay are installed behind the lower cover located under the steering column.
