Immobiliser System

System Description

The Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC models are fitted with an
electronic immobiliser system to help protect against theft.
This system has to be paired with the ECM and the
ignition key which contains a transponder chip. If all the
components are correctly paired, the immobiliser will
allow the engine to start. The Triumph diagnostic tool is
the only way these components can be paired.
In addition, the system has an on-board diagnostic
function. This ensures that, should a malfunction occur in
the immobiliser system, a malfunction code is stored in
the immobiliser/tyre pressure monitoring system <TPMS>
control modules memory. This stored data can then be
recovered using the Triumph diagnostic tool (see page
10-28).

•
Do not submerge the key in water or any other
fluid;
Do not drop or strike the key against hard

check for fault codes in the immobiliser/TP.MS control
module using the Triumph diagnostic tool (see page
10-28>.
