Problems and Replacement Parts
PROBLEMS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS:
REPLACEMENT OF PCM(ECM) AND SMARTRA
In case of an inoperative PCM(ECM), the unit has to be replaced with a "virgin" or "neutral" PCM(ECM). All keys have to be taught to the new PCM(ECM). Keys, which are not taught to the PCM(ECM), are invalid for the new PCM(ECM). The vehicle specific data have to be left unchanged due to the unique programming of transponder.
In case of an inoperative SMARTRA, there is no special procedure required. A new SMARTRA device simply replaces the old one. There are no transponder-related data stored in this device.
1. Things to remember before replacing (PCM(ECM))
2. Things to remember before a replacement (Keys & Additional registration)
NOTE:
a. When there is only one key registered and you wish to register another key, you need to re-register the key which was already registered.
b. When the key #1 is registered and master key #2 is not registered, Put the key #1 in the IG/ON or the start position and remove it. The engine can be started with the unregistered key #2.
(Note that key #2 must be used within 10 seconds of removing key #1)
c. When the key #1 is registered and key #2 is not registered, put the unregistered master key #2 in the IG/ON or the start position.
The engine cannot be started even with the registered key #1.
d. When you inspect the immobilizer system, refer to the above paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.
Always remember the 10 seconds zone.
e. If the pin code & password are entered incorrectly on three consecutive inputs, the system will be locked for one hour.
f. Be cautious not to overlap the transponder areas.
g. Problems can occur at key registration or vehicle starting if the transponders should overlap.
