Caution
1. The ID code should always be re-registered when replacing the immobilizer-ECU. vehicles>
2. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need to re-register the ignition key ID codes
and to reset the code for the fuel cut valve controller to the factory setting. vehicles>
3. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced with a new part, the password (vehicle secret code)
which has been stored in the immobilizer-ECU for each vehicle will be replaced by the password
(secret code) specified by the customer.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL ± Ignition Switch and Immobilizer System54-11
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES

Code No.11 Transponder communication system or radio
interference of ID codeProbable cause

The ID code of the transponder is not sent to the immobilizer-ECU immediately
after the ignition switch is turned to ON position.

If the engine is started while several ignition keys are in the vicinity, then interference
between the different keys may occur, which will cause this code to be generated.
Radio interference of ID code
