Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Read value of intelligent tester (engine immobiliser system)
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on with a key that cannot start the engine.
- On the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: diagnosis / obd/mobd / immobiliser / data list / immobiliser. Read the result.

- On the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: diagnosis / obd/mobd / immobiliser / data list / antenna coil. Read the result.
Ok: normal (transponder key coil is normal) appears on the screen.
- Check wire harness (transponder key ecu - transponder key amplifier)
- Disconnect the e46 ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e5 amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

- Check transponder key amplifier (operation)
- Temporarily replace the transponder key amplifier with a new or normally functioning one..
- Check that the engine starts normally
Ok: engine starts normally.
