Immobilizer System Description - Overview (2016 2017 2018)
An immobilizer system adds a second electronic layer of security to the vehicle. If the key matches mechanically, but the electronic check does not match, the engine control computer suspends fuel delivery and shuts down the engine. Refer to the keyless remote system description for assistance, because the immobilizer function is merged into the keyless remote system when a vehicle has the keyless remote system.
