ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
• The immobilizer system is provided with a malfunction diagnosis function.
• Malfunction diagnosis of the immobilizer system occurs automatically when the ignition switch is turned from
the LOCK (ACC) to the ON (START) position.
• If the results of the malfunction diagnosis show a malfunction in the immobilizer system, the security light
displays a DTC. At the same time, DTCs are stored in the PCM and keyless control module. The stored DTCs
can be verified using the WDS or equivalent.
Caution
• • • • Always use the WDS or equivalent to verify DTCs even if the security light display a DTC. If the
security light itself has a malfunction, it is possible that a DTC may not be properly displayed.
There are certain DTCs which can only be verified using the WDS or equivalent, not the security
light.
• DTCs for the immobilizer system that are stored in the keyless control module and PCM are
cleared when the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the LOCK (ACC) position.
Note
• If two or more malfunctions are detected as a result of malfunction diagnosis, only the DTC with the lowest
number of those detected will be displayed by the security light. However, multiple DTCs are stored at the
same time.
• If two or more immobilizer system DTCs are verified, first repair the part indicated by the security light
displayed DTC. After completely repairing one location, turn the ignition switch from the LOCK to the ON
position and perform immobilizer system malfunction diagnosis.
