Arming the CTD System
When a hood ajar switch, rear compartment ajar switch, or any door ajar switch is signaling open, the CTD system will still arm (after a delay) but will ignore the input of the applicable ajar switch until the switch indicates the component closed. If that same component is then open without disarming, the alarm will activate.
Normal activation of the CTD system is achieved by pressing the door lock button on the keyless entry transmitter 1 time. There are 2 delay modes for CTD activation, normal delay which allows a 30 second delay before arming, and an extended delay of an additional 30 seconds which is determined by various inputs of the BCM. Instant activation can also be achieved by pressing the lock button on the keyless entry transmitter 2 times within 3 seconds.
Use the following procedure in order to arm the system:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Exit the vehicle.
- Lock the doors by pressing the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
With a vehicle door open, while pressing the LOCK button the security indicator will flash while in the delay mode, and turn off when the system is activated.
With a vehicle door closed while pressing the LOCK button, the security indicator will illuminate steady while in the delay mode, and turn off when the system is activated.
Alternately, if the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed a second time within 2 seconds the system will arm immediately, bypassing the delay, providing all input switches indicate that all the components are closed.
