Theft System Indicator

Range: ON/OFF
Scan tool display: This data indicates what message is being sent from the BCM to the instrument cluster in order to control the theft system indicator.

When the BCM is commanding the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the theft system indicator, ON is displayed. When the BCM is commanding the theft system indicator not to be illuminated, OFF is displayed. An illuminated theft system indicator indicates that the BCM has determined the Passlock(R) data has not passed.

The theft system indicator will be illuminated when any DTC is set or the PCM theft deterrent fail-enable bit is true in the last vehicle security status message received. The BCM will not be in the auto learn mode. The theft system indicator will flash when the BCM detects a defect or the PCM fuel disable time-out bit is set in the last vehicle security status message received since the Ignition Switch was turned on to the RUN position.
