General Information

Encrypted Code Registration Method

Required Special Tool:
- MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

CAUTION: Because registering the encrypted codes is done after all previously-registered codes have been erased, you should keep all of the ignition keys that have already been registered accessible.

If the ignition key, immobilizer-ECU, ECM or PCM is replaced or an ignition key is added, encrypted codes of all the ignition keys must be registered. (A maximum of eight different ignition key can be registered.) Moreover, when the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need to use scan tool MB991502 to register the immobilizer-ECU and input the vehicle secret code and to register the password (secret code) that the owner specifies into the immobilizer-ECU.

If an attempt is made to start the engine with an unregistered ignition key, cranking occurs, but fuel supply is cut off to disable the engine. In approximately 10 seconds, the theft-alarm indicator will blink for approximately 30 seconds.

NOTE: powertrain control module has an encrypted code for immobilizer-ECU, and the encrypted code is registered in the immobilizer-ECU and ignition key.


POINTS TO NOTE DURING OPERATION
If none of the functions can be used, check the diagnostic trouble codes, and after carrying out any necessary repairs, repeat the operation.
If an incorrect password is input five times in a row, the immobilizer-ECU judges that an unauthorized operation is being attempted. Start-prevention mode will be set, and engine operation will stop and all special functions will be disabled. If the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position and left in that position for approximately 20 minutes, "Unauthorized operation, start-prevention mode" will be cancelled.


KEY ID REGISTER
All ignition keys can be registered with scan tool MB991502. Additional ignition keys can be registered with or without scan tool MB991502.
If an ignition key is registered using scan tool MB991502, no registered ignition keys must be lost.
