Anti-Theft - Active
Anti-Theft - Active
COMPONENT LOCATION
INTRODUCTION
The active anti-theft system monitors the hinged panels for unauthorized opening. In some markets the anti-theft system also incorporates:
- Monitoring of the vehicle interior and vehicle tilt sensing
- From 2010 Model Year (MY), control of the electric steering column lock (where fitted).
The active anti-theft alarm system is controlled by the following body system control modules:
- CJB (central junction box)
- LH (left-hand) door module
- RH (right-hand) door module
- AJB (auxiliary junction box)
- Keyless vehicle module
- Instrument cluster.
The CJB (central junction box) is the main controller in the system. The CJB (central junction box) controls the following security functions, in addition to other vehicle functions:
- Locking, double locking and unlocking
- Monitoring of hinged panel microswitches and panel ajar states
- Microwave intrusion detection modules
- Anti-theft horns or battery backed sounder
- Passive arming and disarming
- Panic alarm function
- Transceiver coil and transponder reading
- Valet function (via Touch Screen Display (TSD))
- Interior lighting
- From 2010 MY, locking and unlocking of the electric steering column lock (where fitted).
Two levels of vehicle locking are available; perimeter mode locks all opening panels and volumetric mode (if fitted) monitors the vehicle interior for intrusion and incorporates a tilt sensor to monitor if the vehicle is being moved.
Door Modules
The door modules provide the interface between the door latch motors, the door and latch microswitches and the CJB (central junction box). The door modules provide door microswitch switch status information and enable the door motors on request from the CJB (central junction box) or the keyless vehicle module. Additionally, the door modules also control the exterior mirror functions. For additional information, refer to Rear View Mirrors Description and Operation
Auxiliary Junction Box and Central Junction Box
The AJB (auxiliary junction box) controls, in conjunction with the CJB (central junction box):
- The horns
- The liftgate latch motors and microswitches (including the liftgate external release switch)
- The liftgate ajar switch
- The turn signal indicators
- The fuel filler flap operation.
The AJB (auxiliary junction box) also has a connection to the RCM (restraints control module) for automatic operation of the interior lights and the turn signal indicators in the event of an accident.
The CJB (central junction box) and AJB (auxiliary junction box) are both fitted with an anti-theft sense line. If the AJB (auxiliary junction box) is disconnected when the alarm system is active, the full alarm will be activated by the CJB (central junction box). If the CJB (central junction box) is disconnected when the alarm system is active, the AJB (auxiliary junction box) takes control of the security system and sounds the full alarm. The alarm will also be activated if the instrument cluster is disconnected when the active anti-theft alarm system is active.
NOTE:
If the CJB (central junction box) is replaced, the new module will require configuring to the master car configuration using the IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System).
The CJB (central junction box) automatically arms and disarms the active anti-theft system when the vehicle is locked and unlocked after successful confirmation that a valid remote handset/smart key has been used.
Keyless Vehicle Module
The keyless vehicle module interfaces with the CDL RF receiver and collects RF signal information which is transmitted from the Smart Key. This information is translated into commands which are passed on the medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus to the CJB (central junction box), AJB (auxiliary junction box), the door modules and the instrument cluster.
The keyless vehicle module also monitors the liftgate external release switch, 2 interior antennae, 1 luggage compartment antenna and an additional rear bumper antenna and 2 door handle antennae if the passive entry system is fitted.
On vehicles with passive entry, the additional fast latch motors are controlled via the keyless vehicle module and the locking status is passed to the CJB (central junction box) on the medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster controls the alarm indicator which is incorporated into the sunload/light sensor mounted on the instrument panel.
The instrument cluster also controls, in conjunction with the ECM (engine control module), the engine immobilization. The ECM (engine control module) controls the engine crank and fuel functions and the instrument cluster processes the valid transponder information.
Alarm Indicator
The alarm indicator is a LED (light emitting diode) located in the body of the sunload/light sensor. When the ignition is off the indicator gives a visual indication of the active anti-theft system to show if the alarm system set or unset.
When the ignition is on, the indicator provides a visual indication of the status of the passive anti-theft (engine immobilization) system. If the immobilization system is operating correctly, the LED (light emitting diode) will be illuminated for 3 seconds at ignition on and then extinguish.
If a fault exists in the immobilization system, the LED (light emitting diode) will be either permanently illuminated or flashing for 60 seconds. This indicates that a fault exists and fault code has been recorded. After the 60 second period the LED (light emitting diode) will flash at different frequencies which indicate the nature of the fault. For additional information, refer to Anti-Theft - Active Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Operation of the alarm indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster which varies the flash rate of the LED (light emitting diode) to indicate the system status of the alarm and the immobilization systems.
Passive Anti-Theft Horn (If Fitted)
The passive anti-theft horn is located in the RH rear corner of the engine compartment and attached to the bulkhead. The anti-theft horn is connected directly to the CJB (central junction box) which activates the anti-theft horn when the alarm is triggered.
Battery Backed Sounder (If Fitted)
The battery backed sounder is located in the RH rear corner of the engine compartment and attached to the bulkhead.
On vehicles with a battery backed sounder, a tilt sensor can be incorporated which monitors the vehicle attitude. The CJB (central junction box) monitors the tilt sensor and can detect if the vehicle is being moved, towed or raised and activate the alarm system. The type of battery backed sounder can be identified by a suffix change to the part number; sounders without a tilt sensor have the suffix AA and sounders incorporating a tilt sensor have the suffix BA.
Operation of the sounder is controlled by the CJB (central junction box) on a LIN (local interconnect network) bus. The sounder is also connected with a permanent battery supply via the CJB (central junction box). An integral, rechargeable battery powers the sounder if the battery power supply from the CJB (central junction box) is interrupted.
Intrusion Detection Modules
The intrusion detection modules are an optional fitment in some markets and are not available in other markets. Two intrusion detection modules are fitted. One module is located on the front of the floor console and monitors the front seat area, the second module is fitted at the rear of the floor console and monitors the rear seat area. The modules are wired together in parallel with the forward module being the master and the rearward module being the slave module.
Each intrusion detection module comprises two microwave sensors which allow the interior of the vehicle to be monitored. The intrusion detection modules also monitor the vehicle interior on soft top models when the soft top is down.
The intrusion detection modules are activated with the volumetric mode which in turn is enabled when the vehicle is double locked. The vehicle can be locked and alarmed with the module de-activated if a pet is to be left in the vehicle for example by single locking the active anti-theft system. The intrusion detection modules can also be de-activated by deselecting the 'Intrusion/Tilt' option in the 'Vehicle Settings' screen on the TSD.
NOTE:
The TSD method of de-activation of the intrusion detection modules is only for one arm cycle. They will revert to active once the vehicle is subsequently unlocked and then locked.
When the volumetric mode is active, if the vehicle battery voltage falls to below 9 volts, the CJB (central junction box) will ignore any inputs from the modules to prevent false alarm activation.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The CJB (central junction box) automatically arms and disarms the active anti-theft system when it operates the Central Locking System (CLS). From 2010 MY, the CJB (central junction box) also locks and unlocks the electric steering column lock (where fitted) when it operates the CLS.
On vehicles without intrusion detection modules, only the perimeter mode is available to monitor the hinged panels and the validity of the Smart key.
When perimeter mode is active, the CJB (central junction box) monitors panel ajar micro switches located in the latch mechanisms of the driver and passenger doors and the liftgate. A separate hood ajar micro switch, located in the engine compartment, monitors the hood status.
When volumetric mode is active, the CJB (central junction box) monitors the interior of the vehicle for movement using 2 microwave intrusion detection modules located within the center console.
Arming
On vehicles without intrusion detection modules and a tilt sensor, the active anti-theft system is armed in the perimeter mode when the vehicle is either locked or double locked.
On vehicles fitted with intrusion detection modules, the system has 2 modes of operation; perimeter mode and volumetric mode.
Perimeter Mode
- Perimeter mode only monitors the hinged panels and validity of the remote handset/smart key in the start control module. Perimeter mode is activated by a single press of the lock button on either the Smart key or the door handle lock button on vehicles with the Passive Entry system.
Volumetric Mode
- Volumetric mode monitors the vehicle interior for intrusion. If the vehicle is fitted with a battery backed sounder, which incorporates a tilt sensor, the vehicle attitude is also monitored when volumetric mode is active. Volumetric mode is activated by a second press of the lock button on either the Smart Key or the door handle lock button on vehicles with the Passive Entry system. The second press of either lock button must occur within 3 seconds of the first press.
- The second press of the lock button also activates the perimeter mode double locking feature.
The CJB (central junction box) arms the active anti-theft system when it locks or double locks the vehicle providing the following conditions are met:
- All doors, liftgate and hood are closed
- The Smart key is not sensed inside the vehicle
- With no valid Smart Key outside of the vehicle
- The CJB (central junction box) is not in transit mode.
When the vehicle has successfully completed its locking routine, confirmation will be given by a long single flash of the turn signal indicators to indicate the locked condition. If double locking is activated then confirmation will be given by a double flash of the turn signal indicators, one flash for locked and one long flash for double locked. In certain markets an audible warning is emitted to confirm arming or double locking.
Mislock
If any doors, liftgate or hood is open when a lock or double lock request is received, the anti-theft alarm system remains disarmed and the CJB (central junction box) generates a short mislock sound on the vehicle horns, battery backed sounder or passive anti-theft horn and the turn signal indicators will not flash. Each attempt to lock will be confirmed by two audible chimes being emitted.
When the CJB (central junction box) arms the active anti-theft alarm system, it first enables perimeter mode and monitors the status of the hinged panels. If the vehicle is double locked and the vehicle is fitted with a battery backed sounder, an arming signal is sent from the CJB (central junction box) to enable the sounder. If the vehicle is fitted with intrusion detection modules, the CJB (central junction box) then sends an arming signal to the modules and the tilt sensor when double locked. The CJB (central junction box) ignores the signals from the intrusion detection modules for the first 30 seconds to allow time for the vehicle interior to settle and prevent false alarm activation.
If the liftgate is opened via the Smart Key or external mechanical lock the intrusion detection modules and the tilt sensor are inhibited until the liftgate is closed.
Disarming
The CJB (central junction box) will disarm the active anti-theft system when it receives an unlock request from the Smart Key or, on vehicles with Passive Entry, when the Smart Key is sensed and the driver or passenger door handles are pulled.
The CJB (central junction box) can selectively disarm parts of the active anti-theft system to prevent false alarm activation under certain conditions as follows:
- When the vehicle active anti-theft alarm system is armed in volumetric mode, if the vehicle battery voltage decreases to less than 9 V, the CJB (central junction box) will disable the volumetric mode and remain in the perimeter mode only. This prevents false alarm activation because the intrusion detection modules do not operate below 9 volts.
- On vehicles fitted with a battery backed sounder, if the vehicle battery voltage decreases from 9.5 to 9 V in more than a 30 minute period, the CJB (central junction box) de-activates the battery backed sounder and if required, will use the vehicle horns to sound an audible alarm trigger warning. This prevents false alarm activation. At voltages below 9 volts, the CJB (central junction box) will not generate the 'heartbeat' signal to the battery backed sounder. If the sounder fails to receive the 'heartbeat' signal, it interprets this as tampering with the CJB (central junction box) and the sounder self activates. If the battery voltage subsequently rises above 9.5 V, the CJB (central junction box) will re-arm the battery backed sounder.
- If the vehicle is unlocked using the unlock button on the smart key and within 45 seconds a hinged panel is not opened, the CJB (central junction box) automatically re-locks the vehicle and re-arms the active anti-theft system (if 'auto re-lock' feature is enabled). This prevents leaving the vehicle unlocked and disarmed by accidental operation of the Smart Key unlock button.
Alarm
When the alarm is triggered, the CJB (central junction box) activates audible and visual warnings. The audible warnings are produced by the vehicles horns, the passive anti-theft horn or the battery backed sounder or a combination of the audible devices. Visible indications are produced using the turn signal indicator.
The CJB (central junction box) activates the vehicle horns, passive anti-theft horn or battery backed sounder for 30 seconds or a combination of the audible devices. The activation is stopped for 5 second and, if the alarm trigger is still present, the CJB (central junction box) will cycle again for 30 seconds. This will be repeated for up to a maximum of 10 cycles (3 cycles in some markets) of 30 seconds for any one arming period. The CJB (central junction box) will deactivate the alarm if the 10 cycles (3 cycles in some markets) have been completed and the alarm trigger is still present or until it receives a disarm signal.
NOTE:
If the battery backed sounder is triggered due tamper detection, the visual indication using the turn signal indicators is not activated.
The alarm can be triggered by any of the hinged panels being opened, an intrusion detection module detects a movement inside the vehicle, the tilt sensor detects vehicle movement, the CJB (central junction box) is disconnected or an ignition tamper is detected (invalid Smart Key).
Battery Backed Sounder
When the CJB (central junction box) arms the active anti-theft system, in either the perimeter mode or the volumetric mode, the CJB (central junction box) sends an arming signal to the sounder on the LIN (local interconnect network) bus. When the system is armed in the volumetric mode, the CJB (central junction box) also sends an arming signal to the tilt sensor (if fitted).
On receipt of the arming signals, the sounder and the tilt sensor respond with a status message. If the CJB (central junction box) does not receive the status signals within 12 seconds, the CJB (central junction box) assumes there is a fault and responds with a disarm signal to either the sounder and/or the tilt sensor and stores a related fault code. If the sounder is disarmed when the active anti-theft system is armed and the system is subsequently triggered, the CJB (central junction box) instructs the AJB (auxiliary junction box) to energize the horn relay and use the vehicle horns to sound the audio warning in place of the sounder.
When the sounder is armed, the CJB (central junction box) sends a periodic (heartbeat) signal to the sounder which prompts the sounder to monitor the vehicle battery supply and the LIN (local interconnect network) bus link with the CJB (central junction box). The sounder will operate if:
- it receives an alarm signal from the CJB (central junction box) or the tilt sensor
- the power supply or the LIN (local interconnect network) bus link from the CJB (central junction box) is disrupted.
The tilt sensor measures the longitudinal and lateral angle of the vehicle over a range of ±16° from the horizontal. When the active anti-theft system is armed in volumetric mode, the tilt sensor stores the current vehicle angles in its memory and monitors the tilt sensor readings. If the vehicle angle changes in either direction by more than the alarm limit, the tilt sensor activates the sounder.
If the alarm system is active and the battery or battery backed sounder is disconnected, the battery backed sounder will operate without the visual indication of the turn signal indicators flashing.
