The red SECURITY lamp whether the Passlock data was incorrect. The Body Control Module (BCM) sends to the instrument cluster via the Class 2 serial data bus the message to turn ON or OFF the SECURITY indicator. The SECURITY indicator turns ON under either of the following conditions:
^ Any DTC is set.
^ The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) VTD Fail/Enable bit is true in the last vehicle security status message received and the BCM is not in the auto-learn mode.

The SECURITY indicator flashes when the BCM detects a tamper or the PCM fuel disable time-out bit is set in the last vehicle security status message received since the ignition switch was turned to the RUN position.
