GENERAL OPERATION
Coded Card
The coded card system was introduced for the latest Laguna models and eliminates the
use of 'ignition keys' and, optionally, 'door locking keys'. Instead of a key the driver has a
coded card that, optionally, unlocks the door and after insertion into a card reader, sets
self-retaining relays to supply the various systems/circuit in the vehicle (equivalent to the
ignition switch), deactivates the immobiliser to allow the vehicle to be started and unlocks
the electric steering lock. The code is a random rolling code to reduce the chances of
simulation.
The engine is started via an engine start/stop push switch, which when pushed will ener-
gize the starter. If pressed again the switch will stop the engine and removing the card
will break the retaining circuit to the main relay and the vehicle will shut down all systems
and circuits except any required to remain on, e.g. lighting circuits, hazard lights etc. The
following are the immobilizer functions:
• Decodes the signal from the card via the card reader
• Sends a signal to the electric steering column lock
• Communicates with the EMS-ECM
• Controls the immobilizer LED and the card reader light
• Communicates with the immobilizer
This system uses a multiplexing system to send data to peripheral devices, namely the
electric steering lock, diagnostic socket, EMS-ECM and the LED in the instrument pack.
All Systems

Each system has a visual indication of the immobilizer status but whether or not it has a
separate red LED to that of the EMS-ECM is dependent upon the system. If it shares and
LED with the EMS-ECM this will flash regularly when the immobilizer is active and is also
used to indicate acceptance of the security code numbers manually entered using the
door locking button. In general the following functions are indicated by the LED:
• Activation of the immobilizer
• Non recognition of the Coded Card or Coded Keys
• System fault
• Fault with the EMS-ECM immobilizer function
• Fault with the Electric Steering Lock (Coded Card only)
• Signal of entry into door locking remote control resynchronization mode (Decoder/
Multi Timer systems only)
• If a fault with the EMS-ECM immobilizer circuit occurs whilst the vehicle is in motion
the immobilizer LED will flash during deceleration and when at idle speed.
