REPLACEMENT OF PCM(ECM) AND SMARTRA

In case of an inoperative PCM(ECM), the unit has to be replaced with a "virgin" or "neutral" PCM(ECM). All keys have
to be taught to the new PCM(ECM). Keys, which are not taught to the PCM(ECM), are invalid for the new PCM(ECM)
(Refer to key teaching procedure). The vehicle specific data have to be left unchanged due to the unique
programming of transponder.
In case of an inoperative SMARTRA, there is no special procedure required. A new SMARTRA device simply replaces
the old one. There are no transponder-related data stored in this device.

the old one. There are no transponder-related data stored in this device.

1. Things to remember before replacing (PCM(ECM))

2. Things to remember before a replacement (Keys & Additional registration)

1. When there is only one key registered and you wish to register another key, you need to re-register the key

which was already registered.

2. When the key #1 is registered and master key #2 is not registered, Put the key #1 in the IG/ON or the

start position and remove it. The engine can be started with the unregistered key #2.
(Note that key #2 must be used within 10 seconds of removing key #1)

3. When the key #1 is registered and key #2 is not registered, put the unregistered master key #2 in the

IG/ON or the start position.
The engine cannot be started even with the registered key #1.

4. When you inspect the immobilizer system, refer to the above paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.

Always remember the 10 seconds zone.

5. If the pin code & password are entered incorrectly on three consecutive inputs, the system will be locked

for one hour.

6. Be cautious not to overlap the transponder areas.
7. Problems can occur at key registration or vehicle starting if the transponders should overlap.

NEUTRALIING OF PCM(ECM)

The PCM(ECM) can be set to the "neutral" status by a tester.
A valid ignition key is inserted and after ignition on is recorded, the PCM(ECM) requests the vehicle specific data from
the tester. The communication messages are described at "Neutral Mode" After successfully receiving the data, the
PCM(ECM) is neutralized.
The PCM(ECM) remains locked. Neither the limp home mode nor the "twice ignition on" function, is accepted by the
PCM(ECM).
The teaching of keys follows the procedure described for the virgin PCM(ECM). The vehicle specific data have to be
unchanged due to the unique programming of the transponder. If data should be changed, new keys with a virgin
transponder are requested.
This function is for neutralizing the PCM(ECM) and Key. Ex) when lost key, Neutralize the PCM(ECM) then teach
keys.
(Refer to the Things to do when Key & PIN Code the PCM(ECM) can be set to the "neutral" status by a scanner. A
valid ignition key is inserted and after ignition on is recorded, the PCM(ECM) requests the vehicle specific data from
the scanner. The communication messages are described at" Neutral Mode". After successfully receiving the data, the
PCM(ECM) is neutralized.
The PCM(ECM) remains locked. Neither the limp home mode nor the "twice ignition on" function is accepted by
PCM(ECM).
The teaching of keys follows the procedure described for virgin PCM(ECM). The vehicle specific data have to be
unchanged due to the unique programming of transponder. If data should be changed, new keys with virgin
transponder are requested.

• Neutralizing setting condition

- In case of PCM(ECM) status "Learnt" regardless of user password "Virgin or Learnt"
- Input correct PIN code by scanner.
- Neutralizing meaning .

: PIN code (6) & user password (4) deletion.
: Locking of PCM(ECM) (except key teaching permission)
