Anti-Theft System: General Description

The circuit consists of the starter switch, anti-theft & keyless entry controller, anti-theft horn, front door and tailgate key switch (detect and tamper) switch, door lock actuator for each door and engine hood switch, ANTI-THEFT indicator light.

The system operates as follows: After locking the all doors (this sets the alarm), if the door is unlocked in any way other than with the proper key, the headlights will start flashing and the horn sounds. (However, the engine hood and all the doors must be locked and closed.)

Once the system has been placed in the warning or alarm condition, it can be released only when the starter switch is shifted from "OFF" to "ACC" by the starter key, or when the lock of the front door or the tailgate is released (to activate the detect switch) by the starter key.
