Anti-Theft - Perimeter

ANTI-THEFT

NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

The perimeter anti-theft system consists of the following:
- Door ajar switches
- Door set/reset switch
- Hood switch
- Horn
- Luggage compartment lid lock cylinder disarm switch
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter
- Turn signal lamps
- SJB

The perimeter anti-theft feature is controlled by the SJB. The alarm can be armed by using 1 of 2 commands:
- Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter
- Pressing the door lock control switch to LOCK with the accompanying door open, then closed

The SJB then monitors all of the inputs (all doors, hood, luggage compartment lid must be closed and the key must be out of the ignition switch) and 20 seconds after all of the inputs are closed, arms the perimeter alarm. From the time each individual input is closed, to the time the perimeter alarm is armed for that particular input, is the "pre-arm phase". The pre-arm phase is separate for each individual input. If the door lock control switch was pressed to LOCK with the accompanying door open, all of the inputs that are closed (hood, luggage compartment lid) immediately begin their pre-arm phase. After the door that was open is closed, the doors begin their pre-arm phase. This causes the hood and luggage compartment lid to be armed a few seconds before the doors. The perimeter alarm arms in stages, in relation to which input was closed first after the arming command was given. In the event of an unauthorized entry, the alarm is activated by the SJB. When the alarm is activated, the SJB intermittently grounds the horn relay, causing the horn to sound, and intermittently powers the turn signals, causing the turn signal lamps to flash.

The perimeter alarm can be disarmed only by:
- pressing the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter.
- turning the door lock cylinder to the UNLOCK position.
- using a valid programmed key to turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

The perimeter alarm can be deactivated (not disarmed), by pressing the PANIC button on the RKE transmitter. This action will not disarm the alarm, but will stop the alarm from activation (horn sounding and turn signals flashing). The perimeter alarm will continue to be armed.
