• Can the alarm system be ‘armed’ with the mechanical key?
- ‘NO’ would indicate a possible incorrect door/engine hood input to the module.
‘YES’ would point to a keypad fault or failur e of the relevant circuit within th e module.
• Perform the “Keypad Test” as outlined on the following page.
Keypad Testing
As the keypad transmits a FM radio signal, the vehicle radio can be used to check the operation of the
keypad. The actual frequency of the keypad may vary from 101mHz to 106mHz. It is best to commence
testing with the radio set on 101mHz.
• Turn the radio ‘ON’ with the frequency set to 101mHz, and the volume control at about ½ level.
• Hold the keypad against the base of the antenna then press and hold the keypad ‘lock’ button.
• If a pulsing signal is heard from the speakers, the keypad is functioning.
• Should you fail to hear a signal, try 102mHz and so on up to 106mHz.
• If you have tried all the frequencies without hearing a signal, replace the two CR2016 lithium cells in t he
keypad and repeat the frequency test.
Keypad Programming
The programming sequence appears in section 8D - 258 of the 1998 UBS Workshop Manual.
Four program modes are available:
• ID Code New Registration – erases all programmed codes and registers new code.
• ID Code Additional Registration – registers additional ID codes.
• ID Code Check – checks how many ID codes are programmed in the module.
• Answer Back Change Mode – enables/disables the horn answer back function.
Note:
It is important to keep within the time frame stipulated for each operation – the system will time-out and
abort the programming sequence if these times are exceeded.
IMMOBILI SATION SYSTEM
The Engine Immobiliser system is the second of the two independent theft deterrent systems fitted t o 1998
UBS vehicles. The system is designed to provide “Drive-away” protection by electronically disabling the fuel
and ignition systems and the starter motor relay. It is a passive system, r equir ing no action on the part of t he
driver other than removing the ignition key from the switch.
The system uses a conventional mechanical-cut ignition key containing a miniature transponder in the
plastic handle. Within the transponder is an antenna and an integrated circuit. Each transponder is
programmed with it’s own specific ID code during manufacture.
