SUMMARY
In this module, you have learned that the Electronic
Time Alarm Control System (ETACS) Control Module is
a controller that facilitates input signals and body
electrical functions. In addition, the ETACS allows
multiple comfort, convenience, and security features to
interact with one another to increase their functionality
and convenience.
While the ETACS is a complex system, it is fairly
simple to diagnose because its inputs are typically
switches closing or opening to control lights, solenoids,
and motors. Also, the ETACS module is combined with
the Integrated Bussed Electrical Center (IBEC) to
contain the interior fuse/relay electric center. This
design provides technicians and customers with one
location to replace blown fuses and listen for warning
buzzer.
