Procedures




ENCRYPTED CODE REGISTRATION CRITERIA TABLE

CAUTION:
- Do not replace the powertrain control module and the ETACS-ECU simultaneously. Always replace either one of the ECUs first, and register the encrypted code. Then, replace the other ECU. The ignition key contains a transponder (small transmitter), which retains an unique encrypted code.
- When replacing the parts of the immobilizer system, always register the encrypted code or VIN, or both of them according to the list below. The ETACS-ECU can retain a maximum of eight different encrypted codes. This means that a maximum of eight ignition keys can be registered.
