Engine Immobilizer System Overview

The engine immobilizer system prevents the engine from starting unless the ID code in the transponder key matches the code registered in the transponder key ECU. The system is standard on Canadian models and Limited US models. When replacing the transponder key ECU or adding a new key, the key's code must be registered using a hand-held tester, and up to three keys can be registered initially, or a total of eight keys can be registered.

BODY ELECTRICAL - ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM BE-49

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION
The engine immobilizer system compares the ID code that is registered in the transponder key ECU with the
ID code of the transponder chip that is embedded in the ignition key. The system unsets if these ID codes
match. Thus, the transponder key ECU and ECM communicate with each other to authorize fuel injection
and ignition, enabling the engine to start.
The system is standard equipment on the Canada models and the Limited grade for the U.S.A. models.

Service Tip
When replacing the transponder key ECU or adding a new ignition key, the key’s recognition code
must be registered.
 When the transponder key ECU has been replaced, the hand-held tester is necessary for the key
registration. At this time, the total number of keys that can be registered is three (master key: two,
sub key: one).
 The recognition codes of additional keys must be registered. At this time, the total number of keys
that can be registered is eight (master key: five, sub key: three).
For details, see the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM01M1U).
