2. OVERVIEW
The Immobilizer System provides an additional theft deterrent to the vehicle in which it is installed and
prevents it from being started by unauthorized persons. The transponder integrated in the key and the
engine control unit has the same code. When the ignition key with the integrated transponder is turned to
the ON position, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) checks the crypto code of the key and, if correct, allows
your vehicle to start the engine.

2. CONFIGURATION
1) RPM Gauge
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute. Multiply 1,000 to the current number,
then it will be the current number of engine revolutions.
Under the normal engine operating temperature, the proper idling speed is 700 ~ 800 rpm. The red zone
(danger rpm range) starts from 4,500 rpm.
Connect the tachometer for tune-up test and start the engine.
Eliminate the hysteresis by tapping the tachometer.
Compare the values on the tester and tachometer and replace the tachometer if the tolerance is
excessive. 1.
2.
3.
If the tachometer (engine rpm gauge) pointer vibrates or stops moving at a certain range, or abnormal
noises are heard from the tachometer, the tachometer may have a malfunction. If you have reason to
suspect that the reading from the tachometer differs from the actual engine speed (rpm), connect a
diagnostic device and compare the value on tachometer with the reading from the diagnostic device.
