DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Perimetric Protection
Perimetric protection is the monitoring of each opening door or bonnet to unauthorised intrusion. The anti-theft
alarm ECU uses the door and bonnet switches described previously to determine when illegal intrusion has
occurred.
If a door/bonnet is left open when the alarm system is armed, the ECU will determine a mislock situation which is
indicated by non operation of the hazard warning lamps. If the drivers door is left open, the security LED...

between the interior lamp and rear view mirror on 90/110 pick-up models and on the headlining above the RH
door on 130 crewcab models.
The volumetric sensor operates by emitting a signal, which is received back to the sensor as it bounces back from
objects inside the vehicle. Once armed, the sensor will detect a disturbance to the returned...

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Visual and Audible Warnings
Audible and visual warnings are dependant on market legislation. The hazard warning lamps are controlled by two
outputs from the anti-theft alarm ECU; one for the LH lamps and one for the RH lamps. To illuminate the warning
lamps the output from the ECU is at battery voltage. When the lamps are off, the output is driven to earth.
When the alarm is armed the hazard warning lamps will flash three times to indicate that the system is...
