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 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 othe r transponder keys in the vehicle.
The antenna is accessed by removing the steering
column shroud. Apart from a continuity test on the coil
winding, subs titution with a kno wn good part is the o nly
applicable diagnostic procedure.
Immobiliser Control Unit (ICU)
The Immobiliser Contol Unit (ICU) is located bolted to
the cross-beam behind the RH lower instrument panel.
The ICU is powered at all times from Fuse C-2 (Horn)
and receives an ignition ‘ON’ signal from Fuse C-3
(Engine).
Communication from the ICU to the ECM is on the
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) si g nal wir e :
• 6VD1 - ICU pin 8 to ECM pin B32
• C22NE - ICU pin 8 to ECM pin J1-E7
Communication from the ECM to the ICU takes place on
the ‘CHECK ENGINE’ Lam p (CEL) control circuit:
• 6VD1 - ECM pin B18 to ICU pin 3
• C22NE - ECM pin J2-B4 to ICU pin 3
NOTE: I f the I CU and ECM are replac ed at the sam e
time, the ICU MUST be programmed BEFORE the
Immobiliser function of the ECM can be activated.
NOTE: Th e petrol engine ICU differs from that fitted
to diesel engined vehicles. When installing a new
ICU, ensure that the correct part is fitted to the
vehicle. Refer to the latest parts listing for ICU part
number identification.
