The engine immobiliser system is designed to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. This system uses a transponder key ecu that stores the key codes of authorized ignition keys. If an attempt is made to start the engine using an unauthorized key, the ecu sends a signal to the ecm to prohibit fuel delivery and ignition, effectively disabling the engine.
The transponder key coil receives this signal, the transponder key amplifier amplifies it, and then the signal is transmitted to the ecu. The ecu matches the key's id code with the vehicle's id code, which was previously registered in the ecu and then communicates the results to the ecm using sfi communication.
