GENERAL OPERATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
Introduction
11
An immobiliser system was fitted as standard equipment on this
range of Honda vehicles, which prevents the vehicle from starting
unless a programmed key is used. There are 4 types of immobiliser
system used, which vary slightly in operation.
The four systems consist of:-
11
TYPE 1 TYPE 2 TYPE 3
(a & b) (a,b & c)
TYPE 4
TYPE 5
TYPE 6
Immobiliser Keys
Master (Original) Key (2 off) Programmed
Valet Key (1 off) - Programmed
Learning Key (1 off)
Immobiliser System Indicator
Immobiliser Receiver
Immobiliser Control Unit
Immobiliser Control UnitReceiver
Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Note: Type 2 immobiliser system covers 2 different versions (a & b).
The differences between version a & b are not apparent to the technician, however the correct application must be selected from the
Vehicle selection menu.
Where Type 2 is referred to within this manual, it is applicable to
both versions (a & b), unless otherwise stated.
System Keys - (All types)
Both master and valet keys are programmed keys, which means
they have a transponder embedded in their grips that provides an ID
(identification) code when inserted in the ignition switch. This ID
code is used by the immobiliser system to determine whether to
start the engine.
Note: The master key is also referred to as the original key.
GENERAL OPERATION
Type 1
In addition to the master and valet keys this system includes a
learning key which has a unique ID code that is matched to a particular vehicles immobiliser control unit. It allows the immobiliser
control unit to be re-programmed to either add additional programmed keys and/or delete ID codes of lost keys.
Important Note: The learning key will not start the engine
and may damage the immobiliser control unit if attempted.
11
Type 4
Unlike the other master and valet keys, those used on type 4 immobiliser system contain electronic circuitry that produce a rolling-type
code (determined by the control unit-receiver) when the key is inserted into the ignition switch. On LX and EX vehicle models the
master keys also include a battery operated remote transmitter allowing the vehicle to be locked/unlocked. Both master and valet keys
are sidewinder-type and can be identified by a V stamped on the
shank.
Immobiliser System Indicator - (All Types)
The immobiliser system indicator is a key symbol that is located on
the instrument panel, whose location varies dependant on vehicle.
The key symbol will illuminate when an ignition key is inserted, as
follows:
Key Type
11
Ignition Key
Position
Programmed key Turn to ON (II)
(Master or Valet)
Indicator Lamp
Illuminates for 2 seconds
Turn to LOCK (0) & Flashes for 5 seconds & goes off
remove key
NonTurn to ON (II)
Programmed Key
Illuminates for 2 seconds & then flashes. It
will continue to flash until the key is
removed.
Note:
TYPE 1 The engine will not crank.
TYPE 2,3,4 Engine Cranks but will not start.
GENERAL OPERATION
Immobiliser Receiver - (Type 1 & 2)
11
11
The receiver is an electrical coil embedded within the ignition switch
bezel. Power is provided by the immobiliser control unit (Type 1) or
the ECU (Type 2) and when a programmed key is inserted into the
ignition switch the transponder is energised by electromagnetic
induction. Once energised the transponder transmits its ID code to
the receiver, which is then transmitted to the control unit (Type 1) or
the ECM (Type 2).
Note: The immobiliser receiver does not need reprogramming when replaced.
Immobiliser Control Unit - (Type 1)
Location: Below the dashboard on the left side of the steering column.
Once the transponder ID code is received from the immobiliser receiver, it is checked against codes stored within its memory
(maximum of 5).
Code Accepted:
Power provided to the starter cut relay.
A unique serial code is transmitted to the
ECU
Code Not Accepted: No Power is provided to the starter cut relay
Unique serial code is not transmitted to the
ECU.
Immobiliser Control Unit-Receiver - (Type 3 & 4)
These types of system use a combined immobiliser control unitreceiver, which is located around the ignition switch. When a programmed key is inserted into the ignition switch the transponder is
energised by electromagnetic induction and transmits its ID code to
the control unit-receiver, where it is checked against codes stored
within its memory (maximum of 5).
Code Accepted:
A unique serial code is transmitted to the ECU.
Code Not Accepted: Unique serial code is not transmitted to the ECU.
GENERAL OPERATION
Engine Control Module (ECU) - (All types)
Type 1,3 & 4
When the ECU receives the unique serial code, it communicates back
to the immobiliser control unit by transmitting back its own unique
serial code. If both unique codes are mutually accepted, the ECU energises both the fuel supply and ignition system, thus allowing the
engine to start.
Type 2
This type of system receives the transponder ID code directly from
the immobiliser receiver and checks it against codes stored within its
memory (maximum of 5).
Code Accepted:
Fuel system energised, engine starts.
Code Not Accepted:
Fuel system not energised, engine will
not start.

TIPS & HINTS
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The procedure for coding keys on the TESTER is merely a text
walkthrough (wait 17 secs, turn key off etc) it is completely unaffected by the transponder type or indeed whether a transponder is fitted in the key or not. This is the reason for the immobiliser light continuing to flash after the keys have been programmed. The question "is the warning light off" during the programming procedure is a response to procedure rather than an
actual consequence of correct programming.
Honda vehicles have inertia switches fitted, these are a common
cause of non start on certain vehicles.
If the key receiver aerial is replaced, the TESTER will not program in the keys. ECU coding will be required to match the Aerial with the Engine Management ECU.
Civic vehicles with alarms will need to have the alarm turned off
prior to programming keys.
An immobiliser warning light that goes out during the programming procedure (and is out when the TESTER asks is the warning light off) but comes back on after programming is an indication of an incorrect or faulty transponder.
