IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM]

id0914z3520800

•  The immobilizer system consists of the key (built-in transponder), coil, keyless control module, PCM, and security light (in the instrument cluster).
•  Keys for use with the immobilizer system have an electronic communication device (transponder) built into the key head that retains specific electronic codes (key ID number).
•  The immobilizer system cannot be disabled.
•  The ignition cannot switch to ACC or the engine cannot be started unless a programmed key is in the vehicle.
Caution
•  If any metallic or magnetic object is near the key, communication between the key and the vehicle may be obstructed, resulting in a failure to start the engine.
•  The engine may not start due to malfunctions in other systems (engine, starter relay) even if the immobilizer system is normal. If the immobilizer system has a malfunction, the security light indicates a DTC. The indicated DTC is stored in the keyless control module and PCM.

Engine Start Operation

•  The immobilizer system activates automatically when the push button start is pressed. During this time, the security light repeatedly flashes for 0.1 s every 2s.
•  Operates ACC or ON to the following order:

Additional key programming

•  Additional keys can be programmed.
Note
•  At least two key ID numbers must be programmed to start the engine, and a maximum of eight key ID numbers can be programmed to one vehicle. Number of the programmed key ID numbers can be verified by the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
•  The Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) is necessary when there is one key that can start the engine or an advanced key.

Related parts programming

•  If any of the following services is performed, reprogramming of the immobilizer system using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) is necessary for proper immobilizer operation.
Caution
•  The engine cannot be started unless reprogramming is performed using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
