SECURITY Telltale

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.
