Ignition Shut Down Relay (For Antitheft): Description and Operation





When the alarm is triggered, a breaking relay incorporated in the control module operates for about 30 minutes.

As a result, the starter relay will receive no operating current and the starter motor will not start. It a new alarm is triggered during these 30 minutes, the starter interlock period will begin from the beginning again.
