The security indicator acts as a status indicator for the content theft deterrent (CTD) system when the ignition is OFF and as a fault indicator for the immobilizer system when the ignition is ON. When either the body control module (BCM) or theft deterrent module (TDM) requires the security indicator to be illuminated, a serial data message is sent to the instrument panel cluster (IPC), which will illuminate the indicator.
