Taurus V8-3.4L VIN N SHO (1996)
Alarm Module: Description and Operation
System Arming
The perimeter system controlled by the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module is ready to arm any time the ignition switch (11572) is turned OFF
and the PANIC alarm is off. There are four ways to PREARM the anti-theft system:
1. Press the keyless entry remote transmitter (15K601) LOCK button once to lock the doors (with the doors open or closed).
2. Press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons on the keyless entry keypad at the same time to lock the doors (with the doors open or closed), or
3. Open a door and press the power door lock button to lock the doors.
4. Turn the key to the LOCK position (driver or passenger) to activate the CENTRAL LOCK feature.
If a door is open, the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting for all doors to close. The THEFT indicator in the instrument cluster will light
continuously while the system is prearmed. Once all doors are closed, if any were open, the system will be prearmed with a 30 second countdown to
become armed. The THEFT indicator will remain lit continuously until the system is ARMED. When the system is armed, the THEFT indicator will
begin to flash quickly until the system is triggered or disarmed.
If the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting, it will wait only 30 minutes for a door to close. The THEFT indicator will remain lit for this time. If
all doors are not closed within 30 minutes, the indicator will turn off and the theft system will return to a disarmed state.
An anti-theft system prearm can also be cancelled before the system is armed by:
^
pressing the unlock switch on the door any disarm event.
Disarming A Triggered or Untriggered System
NOTE: A perimeter alarm will "shut off" after 165 seconds, but the system is still triggered and is not disarmed.
An armed or triggered perimeter anti-theft system can be disarmed by one of the following five events:
1. Unlock the doors by pressing the keyless entry remote transmitter (15K601) UNLOCK button once.
2. Unlock the doors by entering the unlock code on the keyless entry keypad (14A626).
3. Unlock any door with a key.
4. Turn ignition switch to RUN or ACC.
5. The remote entry PANIC button will disarm the anti-theft system only when the perimeter alarm is triggered and sounding.
