Condition

Immobilizer Operation

theft-deterrent system. The system
does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started with a valid RKE transmitter in the vehicle. The RKE transmitter
uses electronic coding that matches
an immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle and automatically disarms
the system. Only a correct
transmitter can be used to turn the
vehicle on.
The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
This light may come on briefly when
the vehicle is turned on. There is a
problem if the engine does not start
and this light stays on.
Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the RKE transmitter appears
undamaged, try the other RKE
transmitter for the vehicle, or place
the RKE transmitter in thetransmitter pocket. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 032. It may be necessary
to check the fuse. See Electrical
System Overload 0261. If the
vehicle does start, the first
transmitter is bad. If the vehicle still
does not start, the vehicle needs
service. See your dealer.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the vehicle
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
