1. DESCRIPTION:
Immobilizer system is designed to prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine
starting system. The engine can be started only
with vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key,
which has an electronic identification programmed
code.
Immobilizer unit (
ICU
) is an add-on part on
the ignition switch, fitted on the steering column.
The engine can be started only with the vehicle’s
original immobilizer ignition key. The electronic key
communicates the identification code to ICU when
the key is turned to the "Ignition ON" position.
Immobilizer comes with two Electronic
keys (
