OUTLINE
The engine immobiliser system compares the ID code that is registered in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)* with the ID code of the transponder chip that is embedded in the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. The system unsets if these ID codes match. Thus, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)* and the ECM communicate with each other to authorize fuel injection and ignition, enabling the engine to start.

Tech Tips
