Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Principles of Operation: Notes
The SJB monitors the door ajar switches, the hood switch, the luggage compartment lid ajar switch, and the intrusion/inclination sensor.
If any intrusion is detected without the alarm being deactivated, the SJB energizes the anti-theft alarm horn, the traffic horn, and causes the turn signal lamps to flash in regular intervals.
The system arms when the driver door is locked with the key (no intrusion or inclination protection), the doors are locked with the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter, or the doors are locked with the door lock control switch (with the door open) and then the accompanying door is closed. The SJB monitors the status of all entry points. If any entry point is open, the alarm arms everything except for the open entry point. The SJB adds the entry point to the protected status when the closure of the open entry point is detected. Note that only when the system is armed by locking the door using the key in the door lock cylinder is there no intrusion/inclination protection. Arming the system (locking the doors) using the RKE transmitter or using the door lock control switch allows the intrusion/inclination protection to also arm.
The SJB inhibits the intrusion/inclination sensor and the luggage compartment lid ajar inputs if the luggage compartment lid is opened with a key or the RKE transmitter. Once the luggage compartment lid is closed, the intrusion/inclination sensor and the luggage compartment lid ajar switch are monitored by the SJB.
