Immobilizer Function (Immobilizer 3)

An immobilizer function (immobilizer 3) is incorporated into the SCCM control unit. The SCCM control unit communicates with the transponder in the ignition key with the aid of the transponder aerial connected to it. It evaluates the transponder signal. Even if the ignition key is recognized as valid, the identifiers of the REC, UEC, instrument panel cluster (IPC) control units are still checked. If at least 2 are recognized as valid components, the release procedure continues and communication is carried out with the ECM control unit with ignition ON. The ECM control unit requests a start release from the SCCM control unit. If release fails, the ignition key must be removed from the ignition lock so that the Key IN status can be detected again and a new release procedure started by the transponder. The conversion from analogue to digital signals is carried out by the SCCM control unit.
