Remote Control Alarm and Lock System

The Remote Alarm and Lock system combines the functions of the Electronic Door Lock Control system and the Vehicle Anti-Theft system into a single module called the receiver assembly. In the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester, the system and module are called RAP which stands for Remote Anti-Theft Personality.

As a remote entry receiver assembly, the module performs the following functions:

Remote Entry (Key Fob)
- Unlock driver's door
- Unlock all doors
- Lock all doors
- Panic alarm
- Issue interior lamps ON (when unlocking) and OFF commands (when locking) to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
- Horn chirp verify when fob LOCK pressed twice
- Double horn chirp notify when door left open
- Deactivate a triggered perimeter alarm
- Arm/Disarm Anti-Theft system
- Allow up to four transmitters to be programmed

Anti-Theft
- Perimeter sensing - doors, hood
- Ignition keylock cylinder sensing
- Starter interrupt
- LED flashing when system is armed
- Alarm (horn and lights)

Inputs and Outputs
The receiver assembly processes inputs from the following:
- Remote Entry Transmitter (key fob)
- Door disarm switches (driver and passenger key cylinders)
- Ignition keylock cylinder sensor
- Hood switch
- Door ajar output from GEM module
- Door lock switches (driver and passenger)
- Door unlock switches (driver and passenger)

The system distributes output to the following:
- Driver door unlock relay
- All door unlock relay
- Lock all door relay
- Horn relay
- Parklamp relay
- Anti-theft (starter interrupt) relay
- Illuminated Entry request output to GEM module
- THEFT LED (not lamp) in Instrument Cluster

This information covers service procedures directly related to the receiver assembly.
