Note Regarding Drive Authorization System (DAS)



Notes regarding the Drive Authorization System stage 2 (DAS)
- The activation of the drive authorization system stage 2 takes place only from the RCL control module via the CAN data bus to the IFI control module.

After activation of the DAS, the IFI control module renders the fuel injection system inoperable. This drive authorization system can only be activated or de-activated using either the IR transmitter or the master key.

The IFI control module and the RCL control module are permanently matched to one another via an identification code. This identification code can not be erased.

Troubleshooting of an IFI control module or the RCL control module by swapping control modules from another vehicle is no longer possible. If a new IFI control module is installed for test purposes only, a maximum of 40 engine starts can be performed before the control modules are permanently locked with each other. After 40 engine starts, the IFI control module can no longer be used in any other vehicle.

Before the first engine start, version coding must be performed on the IFI control module with the HHT. After that, identification must be initiated.
