Replacement Of ECM/ICM And Smartra
In case of a defective ECM/ICM, the unit has to be replaced with a "virgin" or "neutral" ECM/ICM. All keys have to be taught to the new ECM/ICM. Keys, which are not taught to the ECM/ICM, are invalid for the new ECM/ICM . The vehicle specific data have to be left unchanged due to the unique programming of transponder.
In case of a defective SMARTRA, there is no special procedure required. A new SMARTRA device simply replaces the old one. There are no transponder-related data stored in this device.
