System Arming and Disarming
SYSTEM ARMINGThe system is ready to arm any time the ignition switch is turned OFF and the PANIC alarm is off. There are two ways to PREARM the anti-theft system:
1. Press the remote entry transmitter LOCK button once to lock the doors (with the doors open or closed). If the lock is pressed again within 5 seconds, the horn will either chirp once to indicate all doors are closed and the system is arming, or will chirp twice if any door is open (preventing the system from arming).
2. Open a door and press the power door lock button to lock the doors.
If a door is open, the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting for all doors to close. The THEFT LED in the instrument panel will light continuously while the system is prearmed. Once all doors are closed, if any were open, the system will be prearmed with a 30 second countdown to become armed. The THEFT LED will remain lit continuously until the system is ARMED. When the system is armed, the THEFT LED will begin to flash for 50 ms every two seconds until the system is triggered or disarmed.
CANCELING THE PREARM SEQUENCE
If the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting, it will wait only 30 minutes for a door to close. The THEFT LED will remain lit for this time. If a door does not close within 30 minutes, the LED will turn off and the theft system will return to a disarmed state.
An anti-theft system PREARM can also be cancelled before the system is armed by:
- pressing the unlock switch on the door
- any disarm event
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
NOTE: A perimeter alarm will "shutoff" after 165 seconds, but the system is still triggered and is not disarmed. The starter circuit will remain disabled until the system is disarmed.
An Armed or triggered system can be disarmed by one of the four events listed.
1. Unlock the doors by pressing the remote entry transmitter UNLOCK button once.
2. Unlock any door with a key.
3. Turn ignition to RUN or ACCY.
4. The remote entry PANIC button will disarm the anti-theft system only when the perimeter alarm is triggered and sounding.
ALARM STATES WHEN BATTERY POWER IS CYCLED
When the receiver assembly is powered the very first time at the vehicle assembly plant the system will be in the DISARMED state. The receiver assembly will remember whether it is ARMED, DISARMED or TRIGGERED in its non-volatile memory. When battery power is removed and then reconnected, the system will return to its state just before the battery was disconnected. If the system is in any PREARM state as described previously, then the system will return to a DISARMED state when battery is disconnected and then reconnected.
