Diagnostic Test

  1. DETERMINING IF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS CURRENT 
    NOTE: Diagnose any related Communication DTCs before continuing.
    1. With a scan tool, read and record DTCs.
    2. With the scan tool, clear DTCs.
    3. Turn the ignition off and remove the key from the ignition.
    4. Lock and close all doors to allow the VTSS to go from pre-arm to armed status and wait one minute.
    5. Disarm the VTSS.
    6. Using the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the DTC reset?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  2

      No 

  2. INTRUSION SENSOR TRANSMITTER 
    1. Disconnect the Intrusion Sensor Transmitter connector.
      NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
    2. Connect a known good Intrusion Sensor Transmitter.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, clear DTCs.
    5. Turn the ignition off and remove the key from the ignition.
    6. Lock and close all doors to allow the VTSS to go from pre-arm to armed status and wait one minute.
    7. Disarm the VTSS.
    8. Using the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the DTC reset?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  3

      No

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Intrusion Sensor Transceiver connector.
    3. Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between the (A645) Intrusion Transmitter Sensor Signal circuit to the (G945) Sensor Ground circuit in the Intrusion Sensor Transmitter connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No
