Immobilizer and Transponder
8 - Immobilizer and Transponder
The Immobilizer allows the vehicle to be started only if the rider uses the special ignition key which
sends the identification code to a decoder fitted into the instrument panel. The emitting - receiving
system is made of a TRANSPONDER fitted into the ignition key heads and an antenna close to the
ignition lock.
Transponder keys
Immobilizer has different keys: a red key and two black keys.
One red key:
the secret master code for programming the immobilizer system and allowing engine start is stored
-
into this key;
- this key is used for programming, deleting and reprogramming BLACK keys;
the key head -including the electronic circuit transmitting stored secret code- can be removed and
-
fitted to a different key body if motorcycle locks and ignition lock are changed;
it is recommended the red key be used only for programming the immobilizer system. Use the black
-
keys to start the engine. Keep the red key in a safe place.
Two black keys:
- they are used to start the engine.
- the key head -including the electronic circuit transmitting stored secret code- CANNOT be removed.
Transponder is included into the key head and consists of a power supply circuit, a ROM (Read-Only
Memory) and a transmission circuit. The Transponder is power supplied through the magnetic field
generated by the antenna which is enabled as soon as the instrument panel is switched on. As it is
very compact and needs no outer power supply through a battery, it is directly fitted into the key head.
Warning
Circuits into the key head are not shockproof.
Immobilizer antenna
The antenna consists of a plastic-coated copper coil connected to wires ending up with a connector.
The antenna (A) is fitted onto the ignition lock into its specially designed seat.
