IMMO system brief introduction
IMMO system is the system that immobilizer can control the ECU
and lock the engine by the way of stop the fuel injection and ignition.

 Using RFID technology to realize non-contact key identification ；

 Using digital encryption technology to realize the encryption
communication between IMMO and ECU；
 Engine can be started only by pass the certification between key and
immobilizer, immobilizer and ECU.

Attention
 Before match, assure diagnosis port contact well, voltage 9V, key in ON position.

 Once matched, no matter success or not, the transponder cannot be used in other
vehicles.

 During matching, two transponder cannot close the coil, only one transponder is
good within 15cm of coil.

Common trouble of IMMO system
 Battery voltage not enough or wire harness contact poor;
 Remove the whole good IMMO system to troubled vehicle;
 Coil short circuit or open circuit;
 Coil assemble difficult, plug deformed lead to coil trouble;
 Transponder malfunction;
 Connector troubled during ECU assembling, lead to IMMO
communication malfunction;
 Two transponders are too close lead to the communication of IMMO and
transponder are interfered.
 IMMO is in trouble.
