engine ECU.
In the following cases, a driver may be unable to start the vehicle with the immobilizer.The immobilizer unit transmits
the encrypted code to the
transponder. (2)
The transponder sends an encrypted signal to the unit as a response.
The transmitted code is changed to an encrypted signal in the unit.
The system compares the signal from transponder and the encrypted signal in immobilizer unit. (3)
