LUCAS 5AS ALARM

This is for the small black programmable, stand alone alarm module fitted to Rovers and is denoted by the vehicle having two buttons on its key fob or PLIP. Manufactured by Lucas, its correctly designated name is the 5AS. It does not really have the same kind of fault code memory as other systems but does store a list of the last 5 events which caused the alarm to trigger, allowing faults which cause false alarms to be more easily traced. It gives a huge range of dynamic information values and an even bigger range of configurable settings which alter just about every imaginable aspect of the immobilisation, alarm, and central door locking functionality. There are available a range of drivable outputs and internal functions such as allowing new PLIPS to be registered to the alarm system (learn mode), and learning codes from engine ECUs for immobilisation requirements.
