Anti-theft System
General Description
The circuit consists of the starter switch, anti-theft &
keyless entry control unit, anti-theft horn, front door and
tailgate key switch (detect and tamper switch), door lock
(& power window) switch, door lock actuator for each
door, engine hood switch, clutch start switch (M/T),
ANTI-THEFT indicator light and mode switch (A/T).
The system operates as follows: After locking the starter
switch and removing the starter key (this sets the alarm),
if the door is unlocked in any way other than with the
proper key, the headlights start flashing, the horn sounds,
and the starter circuit is disabled. (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.
