Door Switch: Description and Operation

DOOR LATCH (DOOR JAMB) SWITCHES

The theft deterrent system uses the door key switch as one method in order to activate the alarm. If the BCM detects any door opening before the BCM receives a disarm input, the alarm mode activates.

DOOR KEY SWITCH

The BCM monitors the door key switches in order to disarm the CTD system. When the lock cylinder turns in order to unlock the door, the switch grounds the disarm input to the BCM.
