THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal is the "password",
different every time the car is started,
through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has acknowledged
the code received from the key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
control module. If, during starting,
the code is not correctly recognised,
the icon
appears on the instrument
panel display. In this case, turn the
key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if it
is still locked, try again with the other
keys that come with the car. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
Activation of symbol while driving
If the
symbol illuminates, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). If the symbol remains
on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
