8 Engine immobilizer warning lamp
This lamp should normally come on when the
starter switch is turned to “ON” and go out a few
seconds later. If the lamp fails to go out, communi-
cation with the engine immobilizer starter key may
be obstructed or the engine immobilizer itself may
be faulty. In this case, perform the following inspec-
tion.
8.1 When the engine cannot be started
• Check whether a metal piece or another key is
in contact with the engine immobilizer starter
key. If you find any metal piece or another key
touching the starter key, separate them, turn the
starter switch back to “ACC” or “LOCK”, and
then try starting the engine.
• The engine immobilizer is normal if the engine
can be started and the warning lamp goes
out.
• If the engine cannot be started and the
warning lamp remains lit, try starting the engine
using another registered starter key. If you still
cannot start the engine, the engine immobilizer
is probably faulty; contact an authorized dealer.
8.2 When the engine can be started
• Turn the starter switch back to “ACC” or “LOCK”
and then restart the engine.
• If the warning lamp goes out, the engine
immobilizer is normal.
• If the engine cannot be started and the
warning lamp remains lit, the engine immobilizer
is probably faulty. Contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
