ALARM VOLUMETRIC SURVEILLANCE NOT WORKING

1.9 JTS, 2.2 JTS, 3.2 JTS, 1.9 JTD 8V, 1.9 JTD 16V, 2.4 JTD 20V

When the alarm is switched on using the remote control, the system is activated correctly but the volumetric sensors do not intervene.

The volumetric sensors are located in the courtesy light module and are connected to the Body Computer Node via the dialogue line known as the A-BUS. The volumetric sensors are operated and controlled by the Body Computer node by means of a series of coded messages and can be excluded by the customer using the special button. If there is a failure the Body Computer Node detects and memorizes the causes of the malfunction
