Description

Security Alarm Status [B/A Status]
B/A Status Description
DISARM
  1. This is the state when the ARM mode is OFF.
  2. If all doors or the hood and tailgate are open, the alarm does not sound.
  3. The security indicator keeps flashing with the ignition OFF and turns off when ACC is ON.
PREPARATION
  1. If the BCM receives a lock signal from the remote transmitter or Passive Lock (Smart Key specification), or from the driver door key lock with the conditions for ARM WAIT met, the BCM waits 30 seconds after outputting the all-doors-closed signal before entering the ARM WAIT mode.
  2. During the 30 seconds in ARM WAIT mode, the alarm does not sound, and the ARM mode is cancelled even in the event of intrusion.
  3. Under no circumstances can the ARM mode be entered directly, bypassing the ARM WAIT mode.
  4. The security indicator remains on for 30 seconds in ARM WAIT mode.

Note: For a vehicle equipped with the Smart Key System, the same process applies to the passive door lock function.
B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 1
  1. This is a function similar to RELOCK (automatic locking system after 30 seconds).
  2. If the UNLOCK button on the remote transmitter is pressed in ARM WAIT or ARM mode, all doors unlock and a 30-second timer starts.
  3. After 30 seconds, the BCM automatically outputs the all-doors-lock signal and enters the ARM WAIT mode.
  4. After the AUTO LOCK TIMER 1 (30 seconds) expires, the BCM automatically enters the ARM mode through the ARM WAIT mode (30 seconds).
  5. If the driver accidentally presses the UNLOCK button, this security function allows the vehicle to enter the ARM mode after 60 seconds.
  6. The security indicator keeps flashing during the entire AUTO LOCK TIMER 1 process.

Note: For a vehicle equipped with the Smart Key System, the same process applies to the passive door lock function.
B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 2
  1. It has the same purpose as AUTO LOCK TIMER 1, but the operating conditions are different.
  2. This function works if the UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed when all doors are closed except the hood or luggage compartment door. After 30 seconds, the vehicle automatically enters the door lock mode.
  3. However, after 30 seconds, the vehicle cannot enter ARM WAIT because the hood or tailgate is open (PRE ARM mode remains disabled).
  4. As soon as the hood or tailgate is closed, the vehicle automatically enters the ARM mode through ARM WAIT.
  5. During AUTO LOCK TIMER 2, the security indicator keeps flashing.

Note: For a vehicle equipped with the Smart Key System, the same process applies to the passive door lock function.
B/A Status Description
PREARM 1-1) This is the state immediately before entering the "ARM" mode after the AUTO LOCK timer 2 has expired and all doors are closed.
1-2) If the driver closes the hood or the tailgate, the hazard lights flash once and then the vehicle automatically transitions to the "ARM" mode via the "ARM WAIT" mode.
2-1) If the LOCK button is pressed while at least one of the doors, hood, or trunk is open, the "PRE-ARM" mode is activated.
2-2) Since the all-doors-lock signal is received but the conditions for "ARM WAIT" are not met, the vehicle remains in the standby mode and enters the "ARM" mode through the "ARM WAIT" mode as soon as the open door is closed.
2-3) If an intrusion is detected in the PRE-ARM mode, the vehicle transitions to the DISARM mode.
2-4) The security indicator continues to flash in the PRE-ARM mode.

B/A Status Description
RE ARM
  1. In the "RE-ARM" state, if vehicle intrusion is detected, flashing and the audible alarm are activated again, and the state transitions to the "ALARM" mode.
  2. The security alarm state transitions to the RE-ARM mode after the 27-second timer expires.
  3. The security indicator continues to flash.

B/A Status Description
AUTO LOCK TIMER 3
  1. The B/A state changes to "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" when the TX Tailgate command is executed.
  2. The B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" to "ARMWAIT" when the "30 sec" timer expires while all doors are locked and closed.
  3. The B/A state changes from "AUTOLOCKTIMER3" to "DISARM" when any door is opened.
  4. In the "AUTO LOCK TIMER 3" state, the "30 sec." timer runs. If this timer expires, the state transitions to the "PRE-ARM" state with the tailgate open.
  5. In this state, the security indicator continues to flash.

B/A Status Description
ARM HOLD
(Alarm Hold: Trunk)
?Non-PTL Version
  1. The "ARM HOLD" mode is similar to the existing trunk alarm hold mode.
  2. If the trunk is opened from the remote (including the smart key) in the ARM mode, the vehicle enters the ARM HOLD mode, in which the security alarm holds only for the open trunk.
  3. While the trunk is closed, the ARM HOLD mode is maintained without interruption.
  4. When the open trunk is closed, the 30-second timer starts. During the 30 seconds of ARM HOLD mode, the security alarm does not turn off if the trunk is open.
  5. After 30 seconds have passed following closing of the trunk, the vehicle immediately transitions to the ARM mode.
  6. During ARM, the ARM mode for the doors and hood is maintained, so when an intrusion is detected through any door or the hood, the security alarm activates normally.
  7. The security indicator continues to flash in the ARM HOLD mode.

Note 1: ARM HOLD is a mode that delays activation of the ARM mode for the luggage compartment only. In ARM HOLD mode, the ARM mode applies to the doors and hood. Note 2: When the ignition key is used to open the luggage compartment, the ARM HOLD function works the same way, provided that the Door Key Theft Alarm function is enabled. With ARM HOLD based on the key turned off, using the key to open the luggage compartment is detected as theft and an alarm is triggered.
B/A Status Description
RE ARM
(ARM mode re-enabled)
  1. If the doors, hood and trunk are closed after exiting ALARM mode, this means that ARM mode has been re-enabled.
  2. During this time, the state of the actuators (door locking/unlocking) is disregarded, and ARM mode is maintained until a remote control signal is received (normal ARM mode).
  3. In this mode, the security indicator continues to flash.
RESET
  1. When the battery is disconnected in ALARM or RE ARM mode, RESET mode is activated.
  2. When the battery is reconnected after a RESET, the security alarm operation resumes (instead of the remaining output, the 27-second ON / 10-second OFF cycle is repeated three times).

B/A Status Description
KEY ON 30-second deactivation
(non-smart key version)
  1. For a vehicle without the smart key option, if it waits 30 seconds with the ignition on in the ALARM mode, the vehicle enters the DISARM mode.
  2. Even before 30 seconds have passed, if the engine starts (generator voltage on terminal "L" HI: transmitted from the cluster module via CAN data), the security alarm is deactivated immediately. (No ignition lock: the immobilizer system is applied as the primary function, so the ignition system is normally controlled by the registered immobilizer key during an alarm.) For a vehicle with the smart key, the alarm is deactivated immediately after smart key authentication.
When ARM mode is enabled, opening the trunk and central door unlocking are not allowed.
  1. From the moment the vehicle enters the ARM WAIT mode, the activation of all door locks by the remote or smart key, the central door unlock switch, the trunk inside unlock switch, or the DDM & ADM (driver and passenger seat power window switches) is disabled. (Theft prevention) This function applies equally to the ARM WAIT / ARM / ALARM / RE-ARM modes.
