4. KEY REGISTRATION (Engine Immobiliser System)

(a) New key code registration (Procedure "A"):

NOTICE:
This is the condition that no key codes are registered in the transponder key ECU.

HINT
* In this mode, a maximum of 2 master key codes can be registered.
* New key codes must be registered with the battery connected. The ignition switch can be either on or off.
* When a new transponder key ECU is installed, key codes must be registered in the transponder key ECU.






HINT
* A brief outline of key code registration procedure is shown above. For detailed information, refer to the Techstream screen.
* When the engine immobiliser system is operating normally and the key is pulled out, the security indicator light blinks continuously.
* If the new key code registration fails, code 2-1 will be output through the security indicator light. Trying to re-register an already registered key will cause code 2-2 to be output when the key is inserted. If the number of registered key codes exceeds the maximum limit, code 2-3 will be output through the security indicator light. The output details are shown as follows.





(b) Finish the automatic key code of registration mode. The automatic key code of registration mode can be forced to end when at least 1 key code (immobiliser code) for the master key has been registered.

11. DESCRIPTION OF CODE REGISTRATION (Tire Pressure Warning System)

It is necessary to register the transmitter IDs in the tire pressure warning ECU when replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and/or a tire pressure warning ECU.

Prepare all transmitter ID data before starting registration.

(a) Before registration

(1) When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU:

* Read the registered transmitter IDs that are stored in the old ECU using the Techstream and note them down.

* If reading stored transmitter IDs is impossible due to malfunctions of components such as the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver, remove the tires from the wheels and check the IDs located on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters Service Precautions.

(2) When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter:

* Make a note of the 7-digit number (transmitter ID) written on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.





NOTICE:
* The transmitter ID is written on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. It will not be possible to read the transmitter ID after installing the tire onto the wheel. Therefore, make a note of the transmitter ID before installing the tire.
* When one tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is replaced, the transmitter IDs for all the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters must be re-registered. Before registering the transmitter ID of the new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, check the Data List and record the all of the transmitter IDs that are already registered.
