Invalid Data Received from Vehicle Security Control Module

The vehicle security / alarm controller is sending implausible status data (e.g. armed/unarmed jitter). Alarm and immobilizer behaviour can become unpredictable.

Affected components

  • Vehicle security module

Common causes

  • Medium likelihood: Security module internally failed
  • Low likelihood: Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
  • Low likelihood: CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec

Possible symptoms

  • Multiple warning lights may illuminate
  • Affected modules may go into limp mode or shut down
  • Specific functions inoperative depending on module
  • Diagnostic tools may show communication faults
