Immobilizer System
Description (cont'd)
• If the proper key has been used, the starter cut relay will be energized, and the PCM will energize the fuel supply
system. The immobilizer indicator light in the gauge assembly will simultaneously come on for about 2 seconds, then
go off, thereby signaling that the immobilizer unit has recognized the code sent by the transponder.
• If a key has been used whose code was not received or recognized by the unit, or which was not approved by Acura,
the indicator light will come on for about 2 seconds, then it will blink continuously.
• If the ignition switch is turned OFF, the indicator will blink for about 5 seconds to signal that the unit has been set cor-
rectly, then the indicator will go off.
