Theft Deterrent Alarm Malfunction - Power Sounder

The power sounder monitors the alarm enable signal circuit and will sound an audible alarm when the body control module indicates a event has occurred that requires an alarm. The power sounder also monitors its own voltage circuits independent of the body control module. In the event of the interruption of voltage to the power sounder, the alarm will sound.
