CTD System Armed/Event Indication
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There is no indication that the CTD alarm is activated while the system is armed. The CTD system will confirm arming with several indicators:
- If the keyless entry transmitter lock button is pressed once, the exterior lamps will flash and the security indicator will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds, then turn off.
- If the keyless entry transmitter lock button is pressed 2 times within 3 seconds, the exterior lamps will flash, the horn will chirp once, and the security indicator will not illuminate.
- If the keyless entry transmitter liftgate button is pressed and held, the alarm will temporarily disarm, the liftgate will open/release, the security indicator will flash for approximately 60 seconds, then turn off.
- If the BCM determines that a switch indicates an open door, liftgate, or hood when attempting to arm the CTD system, the exterior lights will flash once and the security indicator will flash for approximately 60 seconds, then turn off. If any of the noted closures remains open after arming, the CTD system will ignore that ajar switch until the door is closed.
- When disarming the system after an alarm event, the horn will chirp 3 times indicating that the alarm event had occurred.
