Under certain condition “Alignment” of the DME and EWS III D modules may still be nec-
essary. The alignment procedure only resets the code table to code #1 it does not change
the “Rolling Code Table”.
Key Activation
Keys that are lost or stolen may be deactivated or made to not operate the starter func-
tions. The SERVICE FUNCTIONS of the DISplus or MoDic for EWS III D contains a
“bar/release code” function that activates and deactivates keys of the EWS III D. Any key
may be “Barred” except the key in the ignition at the time of deactivation. The lost or stolen
key can be identified by the identification of the remaining keys.
There is no limit to the number of times a key can be activated/deactivated.
