Pinpoint Test D: The Alarm System Does Not Arm/No Turn Signal Flash Confirmation
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) controls the perimeter alarm system and based on inputs either arms, disarms or activates the alarm. When the alarm is activated, the SJB sounds the horn and flashes the turn signals in regular intervals. The SJB receives inputs for the door lock status, hood ajar, door ajar, luggage compartment lid ajar and the intrusion and inclination sensor. The SJB also receives signals from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters.
For the perimeter alarm to arm and provide a flash of the turn signals, the following conditions must be met:
- Ignition must be OFF
- The hood closed
- All doors closed
- The luggage compartment lid closed
- An electronic lock command received from an RKE transmitter or door lock control switch (a door opened and then shut after lock is pressed).
Once all the conditions are met, the alarm system enters a pre-arm phase and begins a 20-second countdown. After 20 seconds have passed and no unlock command is received or any hood or door is opened, the perimeter alarm arms.
The perimeter alarm is activated when:
- any door, the hood, or the luggage compartment lid is opened without an electronic unlock command from an RKE transmitter or driver door lock cylinder first.
- the intrusion and inclination sensor detects movement inside the vehicle or the vehicle angle has been changed.
- the ignition is turned to the RUN position without a valid Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key read received.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Door ajar input
- Hood ajar input
- Luggage compartment lid ajar input
- Turn signals
- Intrusion and inclination sensor
- RKE transmitter concern
- SJB

D1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs IN THE SJB AND BCM-B
- Retrieve the recorded DTCs from the SJB AND Body Control Module B (BCM-B) self-tests.
- Are any DTCs present?
Yes
REFER to DTC Charts. Anti-Theft - Perimeter
No
GO to D2.
-------------------------------------------------
D2 CHECK THE COURTESY LAMP OPERATION

- Do the courtesy lamps operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D3.
No
REFER to Interior Lighting Testing and Inspection to diagnose the door ajar inputs.
-------------------------------------------------
D3 CHECK THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LAMP OPERATION
- Latch and release the luggage compartment lid latch while checking the luggage compartment lamp operation.
- Does the luggage compartment lamp operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D4.
No
REFER to Interior Lighting Testing and Inspection to diagnose the luggage compartment lid ajar input.
-------------------------------------------------
D4 VERIFY THE HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
- Place the hazard switch in the ON position.
- Do the hazard lamps operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D5.
No
REFER to Exterior Lighting Testing and Inspection to diagnose the hazard lamps.
-------------------------------------------------
D5 CHECK THE RKE TRANSMITTER FUNCTION
- Using the RKE transmitter, lock and unlock the doors and operate the panic function.
- Do the RKE transmitter functions operate correctly?
Yes
GO to D6.
No
REFER to Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems Testing and Inspection to diagnose the RKE function.
-------------------------------------------------
D6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
