[Precaution after replacing ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Mod-
ule]
When ECM / PCM was replaced, including when replaced be-
cause rechecking by using a known-good ECM / PCM was neces-
sary during trouble diagnosis, the ECM/Immobilizer Control Mod-
ule code must be registered in ECM / PCM and Immobilizer
Control Module by performing procedure described in ªProce-
dure after ECM / PCM Replacementº on p. 8G-27. If it is not regis-
tered, the engine would not start and accurate trouble diagnosis
would not be assured.
When Immobilizer Control Module was replaced, including when
replaced because rechecking by using a known-good Immobiliz-
er Control Module was necessary during trouble diagnosis, the
Transponder code and ECM/Immobilizer Control Module code
must be registered in Immobilizer Control Module and ECM/Im-
mobilizer Control Module code in ECM / PCM by performing pro-
cedure described in ªProcedure after Immobilizer Control Module
Replacementº on p. 8G-26. If they are not registered, the engine
would not start and accurate trouble diagnosis would not be as-
sured.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS IN HANDLING IMMOBILIZER
CONTROL SYSTEM
Do not turn ON ignition switch with ignition key for immobilizer
control system put together with another one or placed quite close
to another one. Or the system may detect abnormal condition and
prevent engine from starting.
Do not turn ON ignition switch by using ignition key with any type
of metal wound around its grip or in contact with it. Or the system
may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from starting.
Do not leave ignition key where high temperature is anticipated.
High temperature will cause transponder in ignition key to be ab-
normal or damaged.
Do not turn ON ignition switch with a radio antenna placed near
coil antenna or its harness to Immobilizer Control Module. Or the
system may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from
starting.
