CONSTRUCTION
Intrusion Sensor
The intrusion sensor detects any intrusion into the vehicle interior and transmits a warning signal to the main body ECU.
This sensor transmits radio waves at 24 GHz in the vehicle interior. When an intruding object moves, it disrupts the reflection of the radio waves, and the sensor detects the resulting changes in the phase of the radio waves.
The intrusion sensor operation can be suspended for a short period of time by pressing the intrusion sensor cancel switch, provided on the personal light assembly, before the theft deterrent system is set.
Glass Breakage Sensor
By sending signals through the connected sensor strips on the back door glass and back door fix glass, the glass breakage sensor can detect breakage of those door glasses.
The glass breakage sensors are linked to the theft deterrent system, and they will automatically be set when the system enters the armed state. During the armed state, when the grass breakage sensor detects an open between the back door glass and back door fix glass, it transmits a signal indicating glass breakage to the main body ECU, and the system enters the alarming state.
Self-power Siren
During a normal operation, this siren sounds an alarm in accordance with the operation signal from the main body ECU. Because this siren has an internal battery, it can independently sound an alarm even if the vehicle's battery terminals are disconnected or if the wiring harnesses that are related to the system are cut.
OPERATION
The states of the theft deterrent system are as follows:
| State | Description | Theft Detection |
|---|---|---|
