CTD System Armed/Event Indication
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There is no indication that the CTD alarm is activated while system is armed. The CTD system will confirm arming with several indicators.
- If the keyless entry transmitter lock button is pressed once, the exterior lamps will flash one time and the security indicator will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds, then turn off.
- If the keyless entry transmitter lock button is pressed 2 times within 3 seconds (immediate activation), the exterior lamps will flash, the horn will chirp once, and the security indicator will not illuminate.
- If the keyless entry transmitter rear compartment button is pressed and held, the alarm will temporarily disarm, the rear compartment will open, the security indicator will flash for approximately 60 seconds (extended delay), then turn off (alarm reactivated).
- If the BCM determines that a switch indicates an open door, hood, or rear compartment when attempting to arm the CTD system the exterior lights will flash once and the security indicator will flash for approximately 60 seconds (extended delay), then turn off (alarm activated). If a door (or other) remains open after arming, the CTD system will ignore that switch until the door is closed.
- After an alarm event and the doors are unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter or the drivers door key, the horn will chirp 3 times indicating that the event had occurred.
