Keyless Start Control Module: Description and Operation






Emergency Starting For Faulty Communication Between Id Sensor And Control Module

In the event that communication between ID sensor in ignition/starter switch button and Comfort System Central Control Module (J393) is faulty (e.g. ignition/starter switch button battery discharged), engine can be started via remote control ignition key.

- Remove the ignition/starter switch button from the electronic ignition lock.

- To do this, release catch - 1 - by pulling slide - arrow - on bottom side back and pulling start button - 2 - out of electronic ignition lock.





- Insert remote control ignition key into electronic ignition lock.

The ID sensor in ignition key is identified via a transponder in the electronic ignition lock and the steering is unlocked and start authorization is achieved.

Start process occurs in the same way as with the ignition/starter switch button.

If ignition/starter switch button is reinserted into electronic ignition lock, make sure that locking latch - 1 - faces upward. Otherwise, the locking latch does not lock in the ignition lock.
