Vehicle Information
Adaptation of Immobilizer 4 components inoperative
Condition
Adaptation of Immobilizer 4 components is inoperative.
Technical Background
The identification of the immobilizer transponder and the locking number data of the factory adapted vehicle keys were not transmitted to the online database (FAZIT).
Production Solution
Correct vehicle key data transfer was ensured from September 2006.
Service
Prior to adapting any immobilizer 4 components (driving authorization
control unit, electric steering column, engine control unit, transmission control unit, vehicle key), program all keys of the vehicle online (GeKo).
The missing data will be entered in FAZIT, which eventually allows adaptation of the new components to the vehicle's Immobilizer 4 system.
