In addition, the instrument panel along with CJB, the engine control module (ECM) and anti-lock braking system module (ABS) also controls engine immobilization. The ECM controls the cranking and fuel delivery functions, and the ABS module controls the tilt function. The EMS and the ABS module communicate with each other after the CJB processes the information from the actual remote control.
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is an LED located in the instrument panel. When the ignition is off, the indicator gives a visual indication of the status of the active anti-theft system to show whether the anti-theft alarm system is activated or not.
When the ignition is on, the indicator provides a visual indication of the status of the passive anti-theft system (engine immobilizer). If the immobilizer is working correctly, the LED lights up for 3 seconds when the ignition is turned on, and then goes out.
If there is a malfunction in the immobilizer system, the LED will either stay on or flash for 60 seconds. This indicates a malfunction and that a DTC has been set. After 60 seconds, the LED will flash at different rates to indicate the nature of the fault.
Pos. | spare part no | Name |
1 | - | Anti-theft indicator |
The anti-theft indicator is controlled by the instrument panel, which changes the flashing rate of the LED to indicate the status of the alarm system and immobilizer.
Alarm/immobilizer status | Anti-theft indicator status | Anti-theft indicator function |
UNSET (reset) | Not blinking | LED off |
SET (installation) - with perimeter alarm | Flashing | The LED will flash twice quickly at a longer interval and repeat 10 times. Then followed by a slow "active" flashing. |
SET (installation) - with surround alarm | Flashing | The LED will blink three times quickly at a long interval and repeat 10 times. Then followed by a slow "active" flashing. |
ACTIVE (active) | Flashing | Slow flashing after alarm activation (100ms on / 200ms off). |
UNSET (reset) - alarm activated during the previous SET cycle | Flashing fast | The LED will flash rapidly until the CJB receives the Accessory Power Mode 4 signal. |
