Precautions in Handling Immobilizer Control System
Do not turn ignition switch to ON position with ignition key with built-in transponder put together with another one or placed quite close to another one. Or, the system may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from running.
Do not turn ignition switch to ON position by using ignition key with built-in transponder with any type of metal wound (1) around its grip (housing) or in contact with it. Or, the system may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from starting.
Do not leave ignition key with built-in transponder where high temperature is anticipated. High temperature will cause transponder in ignition key to be abnormal or damaged.
Do not turn ignition switch to ON position (II) with a radio antenna (2) placed near coil antenna or its harness to Immobilizer Control Module. Or, the system may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from starting.
