Caution
1. The ID code should always be re-registered when replacing the immobilizer-ECU. <Petrol-powered
vehicles>
2. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need to re-register the ignition key ID codes
and to reset the code for the fuel cut valve controller to the factory setting. <Diesel-powered
vehicles>
3. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced with a new part, the password (vehicle secret code)
which has been stored in the immobilizer-ECU for each vehicle will be replaced by the password
(secret code) specified by the customer.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES
<PETROL-POWERED VEHICLES>
Code No.11 Transponder communication system or radio
interference of ID codeProbable cause

The ID code of the transponder is not sent to the immobilizer-ECU immediately
after the ignition switch is turned to ON position.

If the engine is started while several ignition keys are in the vicinity, then interference
between the different keys may occur, which will cause this code to be generated.

tion). <Petrol-powered vehicles>
Probable cause
If the fuel injectors are not operating, there might be a problem with the MPI system
in addition to a malfunction of the immobilizer system.
It is normal for this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine using a key
that has not been properly registered.

3. Use the ignition key that is to be registered to turn on
the ignition switch.
4. Use the MUT-II to register the ID code. If you are
registering two or more codes, use the next key to the
registered to turn on the ignition switch without
disconnecting the MUT-II.
5. Disconnect the MUT-II. This complete the registration
operation.
6. Check that the engine can be started with each of the
ignition keys.
7. Check the diagnosis output from the engine-ECU, and
erase code No.54 if it appears.
Resetting the code to the factory setting
<Diesel-powered vehicles>
Refer to the MUT-II INSTRUCTION MANUAL on handling
the MUT-II.
NOTE
Resetting the code to the factory setting refers to the process
of clearing the identification code which has been recorded
in the fuel cut valve controller and switching the controller
to learning mode. After this resetting is carried out, the
identification code in the immobilizer-ECU will be recorded
in the controller the next time the ignition switch is turned
to the ON.
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn off the ignition switch before connecting or
disconnecting of the MUT-II.
2. Turn on the ignition switch.
3. Use the MUT-II to reset the code to the factory setting.
NOTE
Approximately 16 minutes are required to complete
resetting the code to the factory setting.
4. Disconnect the MUT-II

RADIO AND TAPE PLAYER WITH ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM54400430032

After the power supply to the radio and tape
player has been interrupted for an hour or more,
the anti-theft system will prevent the radio and
tape player from working, even if the powersupply is restored. Problem with the anti-theft
system can be found using the flow chart below.

can not be input any more. To input the security code again, turn
the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position and wait for one
hour when ªOFFº is displayed. After ªOFFº disappears on the display
and changes into ªcodeº, the security code can be input again.

Exit conditions from the adjustment mode
The ETACS-ECU cancels the adjustment mode when any of the following conditions is satisfied:
•
Diagnosis control: OFF (Disconnect the MUT-II>)
•
Key reminder switch: ON (Pull out the ignition key.)
•
Ignition switch: Other than LOCK (OFF)
•
Door switch: ON (Open the door)
•
After the ETACS_ECU has entered the adjustment mode, no adjustment is made within 3 minutes (If
any adjustment is made within 3 minutes, the ETACS-ECU monitors an adjustment operation for
other 3 minutes.
•

Initialisation of all the ETACS func-
tions (From deactivation to activa-

buzzer sounds twice and he answer-back function of the keyless
entry system is initialised.
The buzzer will sound in 10 seconds (indicating that the ETACS-
ECU enters the adjustment mode), but the washer switch must re-
mains off for 20 seconds in order to initialise all the functions.
If the tailgate switch remains on for more than 20 seconds without
entering the adjustment mode, the system enters the adjustment
mode in 10 seconds, but does not initialise all of the functions.
