(14) Immobilizer control
A. Overview
The Immobilizer System provides an additional theft deterrent to the vehicle in which it is installed and
prevents it from being started by unauthorized persons. The transponder integrated in the key and the
engine control unit have the same code. When the ignition key with the integrated transponder is turned
to the ON position, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) checks the crypto code of the key and, if correct,
allows the vehicle to start the engine.
For details, refer to Chapter "Immobilizer".

If the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration
temperature due to low speed driving or other
reason during the regeneration process, the soot
is continuously accumulated in the CDPF. When
this condition continues and the CDPF is
overloaded with soot, the engine warning lamp
blinks to inform this situation to the driver.
In order to solve this problem, drive the vehicle at
a speed of approx. 80 km/h for 15 to 20 minutes
to perform the CDPF regeneration process.
If the engine warning lamp on the instrument
cluster blinks, the CDPF is overloaded. In this
case, perform the step 2. 1.

If the vehicle is driven at a speed of 5 to 10 km/h
for an extended period of time, the soot
accumulated in the CDPF cannot be burnt as the
CDPF cannot reach the regeneration temperature.
Then, an excessive amount of soot can be
accumulated in the CDPF.
This case is much worse than the simple overload
of the CDPF. To inform this to the driver, the
engine warning lamp comes on and the engine
power is decreased to protect the system.
To solve this problem, blow soot between the
engine and exhaust system several times and
erase the related DTC. Then, check if the same
DTC is regenerated again. If so, check the DTC
related to the differential pressure sensor. 1.

3.
Actually, the DTC for the CDPF is generated more often by the component related to the CDP
F
system, such as the differential pressure sensor, than by excessive soot in the CDPF.
