Coil Antenna
A non-contact radio frequency is used to transfer
information between the transponder key and the
Immobiliser Control Unit. Surrounding the ignition lock is
a dipole antenna, which is connected to the ICU pins 3
& 9 by a wiring harness.
The antenna is designed to have a very limited range,
ensuring that only the key in the ignition lock can
communicate with the ICU. This excludes the possible
interference from other transponder keys in the vehicle.
The antenna is accessed by removing the steering
column shroud. Apart from a continuity test on the coil
winding, substitution with a known good part is the only
applicable diagnostic procedure.
Immobiliser Control Unit (ICU)
The Immobiliser Contol Unit (ICU) is located to the right
of the glovebox opening, behind the passenger lower
instrument panel. The ICU is powered at all times from
the 10A Clock (B) Fuse and receives an ignition ‘ON’
signal from 15A Engine Fuse.
Communication between the ICU and the ECM takes
place on the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal wire
(ICU pin 6) to ECM pin J1-19, and on the ‘CHECK
ENGINE’ Lamp (CEL) control circuit (ECM pin J1-12 to
ICU pin 7 and Instrument Cluster pin A6)
Note:
The ICU MUST be RESET before removal from the
vehicle.
If the ICU and ECM are replaced at the same time, the
ICU MUST be programmed BEFORE the Immobiliser
function of the ECM can be activated.
Engine Control Module
The Delphi ECM is located in the front passenger side
of the engine compartment, immediately behind the
aircleaner assembly. .
If the the transponder key rolling code does not match
the ECM’s calculated code, the ECM will immobilise the
engine by:
• Disabling the fuel injectors.
• Commanding 0kPa Rail Oil Pressure.
• Removing the Immobiliser Relay ground path.
Note:
A replacement ECM must programmed — Refer to
Section 0C1 - Service programming System.
The replacement ECM must be linked to the ICU for
correct operation. Refer to System Programming in this
section.
