Intrusion Module - Description






DESCRIPTION





The Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) (1) is located in the passenger compartment mounted to the back side of the front overhead console (2).

The Intrusion Module, sometimes referred to as Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), is used on some export vehicles only. Its function is to sense any interior movement while the vehicle is parked and secured. Besides having two interior sensors it also has an internal sensor that senses the tilt and motion of the sensor itself. This protects against tire theft and tow away. When interior movement or module motion is detected, it will trip the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) and sound the equipped siren. When tripped it will also send a CAN Bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to actuate their respective actions such as flash the lamps and immobilize the engine etc.
