Key with Transponder
Four keys are initially supplied with each vehicle.
Each key contains a wireless electronic chip
(transponder chip). The function of the transpon-
der is to receive and transmit data to the EWS II
control module. The transponder contains a
wireless read/write EEPROM in addition to a
small capacitor and coil for self power capabili-
ties.
The functions of the EEPROM are:
• Store codes for key identification, password and changing codes.
• Receive and respond to coded messages from the EWS II control module.
Power for the transponder is produced through the inductive coil and stored in the capac-
itor. Each time the key is inserted into the ignition AC voltage in the antenna ring induces
voltage in the inductive coil.
All keys either with remote or without, includ-
ing wallet and valet keys contain transponders.
