Immobiliser function

~1min read

This vehicle is fitted with a 2nd generation immobiliser system.

REPLACING THE INJECTION ECU

The control units are supplied uncoded, but each one can be taught a code.

When replacing the control unit, it must be taught the vehicle code, then the immobiliser function must be checked to ensure it is working correctly.

To do this, carry out the following steps:

  • turn the ignition on for a few seconds, then remove the key,
  • with the key removed, the immobiliser function is active.

CHECKING THE IMMOBILISER FUNCTION

Remove the key from the starter switch. After 10 seconds, the red immobiliser warning light must flash.

For specific tests on an injection control unit (test part), refer to chapter 82 "Immobiliser".
