SECURITY Indicator

The yellow indicator SECURITY in the instrument cluster message center is controlled by both the VTD system and the CTD system.
^ The VTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON. The VTD System uses the indicator as a malfunction indicator. If a DTC is present in the VTD system when the Ignition is ON, the indicator will be illuminated.
^ The CTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD System uses the indicator in order to identify system status.
- Indicator FLASHING - The system is in standby mode, the system is not ready to arm (a door is open).
- Indicator ON STEADY - The system is in delay mode, the system is ready to arm and is executing a time delay of 30 seconds before turning the lamp OFF and transitioning to the armed mode
- Indicator OFF - The system may or may not be armed.
