To increase the security of the immobilizer system, the central electronic module (CEM) and the engine control module (ECM) are linked to each other with codes. The codes must be programmed if a control module is replaced before the vehicle can be started. Programming replaced control modules takes place automatically when downloading software into the new control module.
