IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM 11A-3
General Description
The immobilizer system consists of the four major
components which are Engine Control Module (ECM),
Immobilizer Control Unit (lCU), transponder, and scan
tool (Tech-2).
This system can be activated by a correctly programmed
transponder and starter switch is set to OFF.
This system can be deactivated by a correctl
y
programmed transponder key connected with a correctly
programmed ECM and a correctly programmed lCU.
While the system is on :
The starter cut off relay deactivates function of starter,
and the fuel injector power source is deactivated also.
Check Engine lamp is flashing.
Warning buzzer is operating.

What happens without proper transponder
operation?
One of the function of transponder is to deactivate or
activate starter function. lf the proper transponder is not
used, starter cannot be operated. Because starter rela
y
stays off, cranking engine is not possible.
After the starter relay is activated, transponder signal
triggers to let lCU calculate by transponder address
signal and immobilizer algorithm.
When the result matches with necessary condition, it
makes injector power source be activated.
If transponder does not send correct signal, lCU and
ECM do not activate injector system on.
Therefore the vehicle cannot be operated.
No proper transponder is available, what
should be done for the system?
When any proper transponder is not available, a new
transponder should be programmed. Up to 5
transponders can be provided with a scan tool (Tech-2)
and by proper procedure.
In addition to the absence of proper transponder, it ma
y
happen particular secret code to the particular vehicle is
missing. ln this case, the secret code must be provided
by your organization.
Otherwise transponder cannot be programmed in an
y
way.
lf the essential for a scan tool (Tech-2) for programming
and proper software for Tech-2 are not available, there
is no permanent way to fix system. Temporary replace
with new ECM, new ICU and new transponder without
any secret code can make the system be deactivated,
but it does not last long. Such a replacement does not
solve any condition. Even after replacement, the system
is activated automatically in short time and then no
operation of the vehicle can be made in any way.
Tech-2 should be provided in your organization.
Caution to the operation
lf an attempt is made to start the engine while the
immobilizer system is activated, the check engine lamp
flashes and the engine will not start.
Summary of operation
Switch on: Set the ignition and starter switch to OFF.
(Activate)
Switch off: Set the ignition and starter switch to ON b
y
using the transponder key. (Deactivate)

Each vehicle has a car pass, which is issued to the
customer on delivery of the vehicle along with the othe
r
papers.
RUW38HMF000201
Notes:
This car pass is an important document and must be
treated with the same care as the vehicle papers.
It must not be kept in the vehicle. The customer must
present the car pass for operations involving the
immobilizer or the engine control unit.
Loss of car pass card
If the car pass is lost, the data can be requested from
your proper organization name. This request will only be
processed if accompanied by the enclosed form and
proof of ownership. Once the data is received, it can be
entered in a blank car pass and given to the customer.
The unused car pass should be destroyed.

lmportant information on Programming
Security code
The security code protects the immobilizer control unit
against unauthorized programming and data access
from Tech-2. The security code consists of a 4 digit
code number and is programmed into the immobilize
r
control unit and Engine Control Module (ECM).
New control units are not programmed with a securit
y
code.
If the control units are replaced, the security code
entered in the car pass, transponder lD, etc.
Must be programmed into the new control unit with
Tech-2.
The security code can only be programmed with Tech-2
once and must therefore be performed with great care.
Once programmed, the security code cannot be
overwritten. An already used immobilizer can be reused
in a different car by initializing the immobilizer. After that
you can program the security code again. For initializing
command you need the current security code.
If the immobilizer control unit is returned, always
enclosed the security code that is allocated to that
control unit. If this is not done, we can not process the
case and the warranty will not be recognized.
Entering a code
If the Tech-2 display requests that the
security code
mechanical key number
Vehicle Identification No.
be entered, process as follows;
To input a digit you need to use the up and down
buttons of the Tech-2. By using the numeric buttons the
according digit will be displayed at the current position
and the cursor will move to the next position.
For letters you need to use the up and down buttons o
f
the Tech-2. The up and down key might be used for
digits as well. By using the up and down buttons the
displayed digit or letter will be increased or decreased.
To move to the next position you need to use the move-
to-right-button.
With the two buttons, move-to-right and move-to-left
you can select the position of number you want to
change.
This will allow you to correct a wrong number.
After the number is completed you need to press the
Enter button to accept the number. Correction is now no
longer possible.
Use the OKAY soft key to program the number and the
NOT OKAY soft key to abort the programming.
Transponder (Key)
If a transponder key is lost:
If a transponder key is lost, all transponder keys in the
immobilizer control system must be erased.
Transponder keys can be ordered via the "Your prope
r
organization name such as part and accessor
y
department" as previously by providing the mechanical
key number.
The mechanical key number is provided on the ca
r
pass.
Thereafter, existing and new transponder keys are
programmed consecutively using Tech-2. The vehicle
can then no longer be started using lost key.
5 transponder keys can be provided:
Each transponder has different Identifications. If a
customer wants more than 2 transponder keys,
maximum 5 transponder keys can be provided b
y
additional programming by Tech-2.
lf a new ignition key with different mechanical key
number needs to be installed:
If installation of an ignition lock with a different
mechanism key number is necessary (an ignition lock
which belongs to the mechanical key number has to be
ordered first), all transponder keys must first be erased
and the two transponder keys which belong to the
ignition lock that is now installed must be programmed.
The new mechanical key number must be programmed
now into the immobilizer. The mechanical key numbe
r
in the car pass is to be changed as well.
Important:
After successful programming, the engine control can
only be used for vehicles with immobilizer and
transponder.
Faults that occur in connection with the immobilize
r
control unit are recognized by the engine control unit
and as long as "IMMOBILOZER" is not programmed,
are indicated by a flashing of the check engine lamp.
If the immobilizer and engine control unit are replaced
at the same time, the immobilizer control unit must be
programmed first before the "IMMOBILIZER" function in
the engine control unit can be activated.
