Luggage Compartment Lid Anti-Theft Inhibit Switch

The luggage compartment lid anti-theft inhibit switch is a single pole switch that is normally open, interrupting the voltage signal sent to it. When the luggage compartment lid key cylinder is rotated to open the luggage compartment lid, the switch closes, routing the signal to ground. This is interpreted as authorized access to the luggage compartment using a correctly cut key.

The BCM sends a voltage signal to the luggage compartment lid anti-theft inhibit switch. Based on the inputs from the luggage compartment lid anti-theft inhibit switch and the luggage compartment lid ajar switch, the BCM determines whether or not authorized access to the luggage compartment occurs.
