When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the transponder embedded in the key is energised by the exciter coils surrounding the ignition lock cylinder. The transponder transmits a signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.
When a keyless entry transmitter is inserted into the transmitter pocket/slot and the ignition mode switch is pressed, the transponder embedded in the transmitter is energised by the immobiliser aerial exciter coil. The transponder transmits a signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.
Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.
The transponder value measured by the BCM is incorrect or not learned to the vehicle.
• | Vehicle starting will be disabled. |
• | The security indicator in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. The driver information centre will display a service message. |
• | A current DTC will be cleared when the BCM detects a valid transponder value from the ignition key. |
• | A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs. |
