Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Security Indicator
The content theft deterrent (CTD) system uses the security indicator as a status indicator. The rear integration module (RIM) commands the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminated the security indicator on steady or to flash the security indicator only when the ignition switch is in the off position via the class 2 serial data circuit. The security indicator will be requested to flash or to be illuminated on steady under the following conditions:
- The RIM will command the IPC to flash the security indicator when either front door is open.
- The RIM will command the IPC to illuminated the security indicator on steady when either front door is open and the doors are locked by the power door lock switch or a lock command from the keyless entry system.
