Smart key System consists of transponder, which is in the FOB key head, and Smart key ECM. Smart Key System has FOB holder, which includes antenna coil, to communicate with transponder for immobilizer communication.
Smart Key ECM communicates with PDM via serial communication line so that Smart Key ECM sends signal to PDM.
FOB is requested authentication from Smart Key ECM by using the LF antenna with LF communication. And then, FOB sends authentication signal through the SRx with RF communication.
With this procedure, Smart Key ECM sends authentication signal to Engine ECM in order to allow the engine start.
Authentication for immobilizer is classified two different way. one is pre- authentication and the other is general authentication.
Regardless of success or failure, Pre-authentication makes Immoblizer lamp remains OFF. However, General authentication makes Immobilizer lamp is ON for 30 seconds If authentication is successful. However, if authentication is failed, Immobilizer lamp is OFF for 10 seconds.
