SECURITY Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SECURITY indicator on the instrument cluster is controlled by both the VTD system and the CTD system. The SECURITY indicator is an LED on the instrument cluster which illuminates the word THEFT. The SECURITY indicator is controlled by the body control module grounding the security indicator control circuit.
- The VTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON. The VTD system uses the indicator as a malfunction indicator.
- The CTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD system uses the indicator to identify system status.
