Immobilizer System Description

Immobilizer System Description

The vehicle is equipped with a type VI (GEN 4) immobilizer system that will disable the vehicle unless a programmed ignition key is used.

This system consists of a transponder combined with a keyless transmitter, immobilizer-keyless control unit, immobilizer indicator, imoes unit (built into the MICU), and the ECM/PCM.

When the immobilizer key (programmed by the HDS) is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to ON (II), the immobilizer-keyless control unit sends power to the transponder in the ignition key. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the immobilizer-keyless control unit which then sends a coded signal to the ECM/PCM and the MICU (imoes unit). The ECM/PCM and MICU (imoes unit) identify this coded signal, then fuel power is supplied.

NOTE: The transmitter is automatically programmed to the vehicle when a transponder is programmed by the HDS.






If the wrong key has been used or the code was not received or recognized by the units, the immobilizer indicator will come on for about 2 seconds, then it will blink until the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0). When the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the indicator will blink ten times to signal that the unit has reset correctly, then the indicator will go off.
