Intrusion Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The intrusion sensor is powered and monitored by the BCM at all times. When the perimeter alarm is armed, the intrusion sensor monitors the passenger compartment for movement and, if movement is detected, it sends a signal to the BCM.

The inclination sensor is part of the intrusion sensor and is powered and monitored by the BCM at all times. When the perimeter alarm is armed, the inclination sensor monitors the vehicle for tilt or inclination from events such as significant cargo removal or addition, jacking up a wheel assembly, loading onto a tow truck, or suspension modifications causing significant front/rear ride height differences. If sufficient tilt is detected, the inclination sensor sends a signal to the BCM.

When the intrusion sensor is replaced, the LIN New Module Initialization procedure must be carried out using a diagnostic scan tool.
