Electrical system
3-FLASH CODE
Example with programmed electronic control unit,
aerial working properly and unknown transponder
code.
Ignition disabled-Vehicle immobilised
Diagnostic code - 2 flashes
When the 2-flash code is detected, carry out the following checks:
- Check if the failure continues even after changing key (including the MASTER key). If the failure
persists with any key, disconnect the aerial connector from the electronic control unit and check the
aerial continuity with the multimeter.
If it does not work, replace the aerial.
If no faults are found, replace the control unit.
CAUTION
BEFORE PROGRAMMING THE NEW ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT CHECK THAT NO FAILURE
CODE IS INDICATED. THIS IS TO AVOID SPOILING A NEW CONTROL UNIT UNNECESSARILY.
Specific tooling

Electric characteristic
Resistance value
~ 7 ÷ 9 Ohm
Diagnostic code - 3 flashes
If the 3-flash code is detected, check if the failure occurs when the MASTER key in inserted into the
key switch.
- If the failure disappears when the MASTER key is used, proceed with coding a new service key (Blue).
- If the failure persists, it means that the MASTER key and the control unit are not linked; in this case,
replace the control unit and then encode the keys.
The immobilizer system is efficient when, after switching over to «ON», only a 0.7-sec flash is detected
(see diagram).
In this case, the engine can be started.
