SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
a. The immobiliser system is a theft deterrent system that determines whether or not to disable starting of the SFI system based on a comparison of the key's ID codes and the vehicle's pre-registered code. The immobiliser system compares the vehicle certification ECU's pre-registered ID code with the key-embedded transponder chip's ID code. If the ID codes do not match, the immobiliser system activates and the SFI system cannot be started. The certification ECU manages communication with the ECM, power source control ECU, steering lock ECU and immobiliser code ECU. When the ID codes of the transponder chip and certification ECU match, the certification ECU authorizes the starting of the SFI system.




2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

3. SYSTEM FUNCTION
a. Using entry function
1. When the driver (or passenger) is sitting in the vehicle while carrying the key, and the brake pedal is depressed while the engine switch is pressed, the power source control ECU recognizes that the engine start operation has occurred and sends a certification request signal to the certification ECU. Upon receipt of the certification request signal, the certification ECU sends a request signal to the indoor electrical key oscillator. Upon receipt of the request signal, the indoor electrical key oscillator sends a request signal to detect if the key is inside the vehicle. When the key receives this request signal, it answers by sending an ID code containing a response code through the glass antenna to the door control receiver. Upon receipt of the ID code, the certification ECU analyzes the code. If the interior certification passes, then the power source control ECU sends a certification pass response signal. When the power source control ECU receives this signal, the ACC relay is switched on and the IG1 and IG2 relays are switched on in sequence.

At this time, the engine switch indicator illuminates in green. Then the certification ECU checks that the power source mode has been changed and sends a steering lock command signal to the power source control ECU. After receiving this signal, the power source control ECU supplies power to the steering lock actuator. Then (via the immobiliser ECU) the steering lock ECU confirms that the certification ECU is certified and drives the steering actuator's motor until the steering lock is unlocked. After unlocking the steering lock, an unlock completed signal is sent to the certification ECU. Upon receipt of this signal, the certification ECU sends an unset command signal to the immobiliser code ECU. Once this signal is received, the immobiliser ECU confirms that the certification ECU is certified, sends an immobiliser unset command signal to the ECM and sends a security indicator light off signal to the multiplex network body ECU.

b. Not using the entry function (when battery is depleted)
1. When the driver is sitting in the vehicle while carrying the key and the brake pedal is depressed, the power source ECU recognizes that the stop light switch is on and sends a key confirmation request signal to the certification ECU. Upon receipt of this signal, the certification ECU drives the motor of the engine switch's built-in immobiliser amplifier. At this time the engine switch sends an RF wave communication signal to the immobiliser. If the driver holds the key up to the engine switch at this time, the engine switch receives the immobiliser RF wave signal and responds by sending a radio wave signal. When the engine switch receives the radio wave signal from the key, it duplicates the signal and sends an ID code to the certification ECU. Upon receipt of the ID code, the code is analyzed. If the certification passes, a key certification pass response signal is sent to the power source control ECU while simultaneously sending a sound buzzer request signal to the meter ECU. When the power source control ECU receives this signal, the ACC relay is switched on and the IG1 and IG2 relays are switched on in sequence.At this time, the engine switch indicator illuminates in green. Then the certification ECU checks that the power source mode has been changed and sends a steering lock command signal to the power source control ECU. After receiving this signal, the power source control

ECU supplies power to the steering lock actuator. Then (via the immobiliser code ECU) the steering lock ECU confirms that the certification ECU is certified and drives the steering actuator's motor until the steering lock is unlocked. After unlocking the steering lock, an unlock completed signal is sent to the certification ECU. Upon receipt of this signal, the certification ECU sends an unset command signal to the immobiliser code ECU. Once this signal is received, the immobiliser ECU confirms that the certification ECU is certified, sends an immobiliser unset command signal to the ECM and sends a security indicator light off signal to the multiplex network body ECU.
