Door Ajar Switches

The door ajar switches are an internal function of the door latches. The CTD system uses the door ajar switches as one method to activate the alarm. The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors all door ajar switches via a discrete input from each door ajar switch, including the rear compartment. If the BCM receives a ground signal from a door ajar switch or hatch/trunk ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
