WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SECURITY telltale on the instrument cluster is controlled by both the VTD system and the CTD system.
- The VTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the telltale only when the ignition switch is ON. The VTD system uses the telltale as a malfunction indicator. If a DTC is present in the VTD system when the ignition is ON, the telltale will be illuminated.
- The CTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the telltale only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD system uses the telltale to identify system status.
- Telltale FLASHING - The system is in standby mode. The system is not ready to arm, a door is open.
- Telltale ON STEADY - The system is in delay mode. The system is ready to arm and is executing a time delay of 15 seconds before turning the lamp OFF and transitioning to armed mode.
- Telltale OFF - The system may or may not be armed.
