replacement, the new ECM will allow
engine start-up without the fuel enable
signal from the immobilizer. To activate
immobilization, program the system (to
be performed at your dealer’s).
5. Engine won’t start.
If after disarming the system the key
reader LED flashes once a second and
the engine does not start up, the immo-
bilizer system is faulty or there is no
connection between the immobilizer
module and the ECM. If the key reader
LED flashes once or twice and then
goes off, and the engine does not start,
the fault is not within the immobilizer
system.
Courtesy Light
The courtesy light goes off with a
delay after the door is closed providing
illumination for the driver during dark
hours.
To activate courtesy light put the
interior lighting switch in the OFF posi-
tion. The courtesy light illuminates with
the driver’s door opening and stays on
while the door remains open. If ignition
is switched off, the courtesy light will
illuminate for another 12 seconds after
the driver’s door closing and then fade
within 4 seconds. If the door is closed
with ignition ON, the courtesy light will
die out immediately after the door clos-
ing. If the ignition key is turned into
position «I» while the courtesy light illu-
minates, the latter will go down imme-
diately.
If you reopen the door while the
courtesy light is still on or is fading, the
courtesy light will re-illuminate and stay
on while the door is open, then it will
operate as described above.
USING IGNITION KEY AND
KEY FOBS
Use the following procedure to start
a vehicle, fitted with the VTD system:
1. After opening a vehicle’s door or a
brief ignition switch-on (if the courtesy
light switch in the driver’s door is faulty)
the immobilizer Reading Mode will be
activated for 30 seconds — the key
reader (3) LED (2) (Fig. 28) will flash at
a double rate.
