Theft System Indicator State

The THEFT SYSTEM indicator state indicates whether the Body Function Controller (BFC) has determined if the Passlock� data has passed. The Body Function Controller (BFC) then sends the message to turn ON or OFF the THEFT SYSTEM indicator to the Instrument Cluster via the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) serial data bus. The THEFT SYSTEM indicator will be ON when any DTC is set or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Fail-Enable is true in the last vehicle security status message received and the Body Function Controller (BFC) is not in the Auto Learn Mode. The THEFT SYSTEM indicator will flash when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Fuel Disable Time-out bit is set in the last vehicle security status message received since the Ignition Switch was turned ON.
