Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A determination is made as to whether an expected signal has not been received from a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) module in a vehicle. When the expected signal has not been received, at least one operating parameter of the vehicle is determined and based upon the at least one operating parameter, a reason for the absence of the expected signal is determined. Based upon the determined reason for the absence of the expected signal, it is then determined whether or not to issue an alarm.
