Hey Tee,
Yes many of those terminals can be used for constant 12v, switched 12v and also for 12v common ground. I would recommend using
only a 12v digital multimeter, test lights can cause a short that will destroy the ECU and touching the wrong wire can deploy the airbag. Be careful!...there have been a few alarm installers that have been killed by having the airbag deploy and snapping their neck.
The factory manual will show you which terminal is a positive and which one will be a ground. Always test the terminal first before connecting anything to it.
Good Luck!!
P.S. Always follow the alarm manufacturers suggested conection locations in the installation manual!!!!
