testing your system, it is important to remember that this circuitry can
cause zones to be bypassed and appear to not work. If five chirps are heard
when disarming the system, the NPC was engaged. To clear the memory,
turn the ignition key on.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to
constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it.
It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from
disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any trig-
gers that occur when you are away from your vehicle.
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is
active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc.), you will hear one chirp
to indicate arming and a second chirp to indicate Bypass Notifica-
tion. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the system ignores the
input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the system will re-
sume normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior
light exit delay and you arm the system before the light turns off,
you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns
off, however, the system resumes normal monitoring.
NOTE: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent Mode
or if the chirps have been programmed by the installer not to sound.
