TRANSMITTER

The intrusion sensor transmitter operates only when it is energized by the intrusion module. The transmitter generates ultrasonic signals into the vehicle cabin through a transmit transducer. Then the intrusion sensor receiver listens to the returning signals as they bounce off of objects in the vehicle interior and provides input signals to the intrusion module. If an object is moving in the interior, a detection circuit in the intrusion module senses this movement through the modulation of the returning signals that occur due to the Doppler effect. The intrusion module monitors the current draw of the transmitter circuits to determine the condition of the transmitter and, if the draw is too high or too low, it will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
