Faulty Transponder or Lost Key







Faulty Transponder or Lost Key

The transponder is integrated in the ignition key and cannot be replaced separately.

If the transponder is faulty, the entire ignition key must be replaced.

- Order a replacement key through the distributor or importer with the vehicle specific lock number using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

- Perform the adaptation on all ignition keys in "Guided Fault Finding". Refer to the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.
