Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
As a test function for the anti-theft alarm, an LED is mounted in the loudspeaker grille on the left-hand side of the dashboard (or right-hand side on RHD
cars). This is controlled by the control module (pin 2) and flashes (at varying frequency) or remains on continuously, depending on different conditions.
Some normal cases are shown in the table below.
Important: The delay time (10 seconds) does not start until the delayed interior lighting (about 18 seconds) goes out.
Self diagnostics
Each time the alarm is armed, a self diagnostic test is conducted during the delay period (10 seconds) while the LED is lit. If a fault is revealed, a
diagnostic trouble code is stored in the control module and the LED flashes once every second. Other alarm functions are not affected.
