New parts are not coded. Once fitted to the vehicle, learn a code to the replaced parts to make them operational.

Some immobiliser system parts must already be coded (to the vehicle code).

See assignment table.

WARNING

If a part learns a code, it is permanently assigned to the vehicle.

The learnt code cannot be erased.
