Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: System description
- Engine immobiliser system description
The engine immobiliser system is designed to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. This system uses a transponder key ecu that stores the key codes of authorized ignition keys. If an attempt is made to start the engine using an unauthorized key, the ecu sends a signal to the ecm to prohibit fuel delivery and ignition, effectively disabling the engine.
- Function of main component
- System function
- When the transponder key ecu detects that the
unlock warning switch is on, the ecu provides
current to the transponder key coil and produces a
faint electric wave. A transponder chip in the key grip
receives the wave and outputs a key id code signal.
The transponder key coil receives this signal, the transponder key amplifier amplifies it, and then the signal is transmitted to the ecu. The ecu matches the key's id code with the vehicle's id code, which was previously registered in the ecu and then communicates the results to the ecm using sfi communication.
- After the identification results show that the key's id code matches the vehicle's id code and the ecu has confirmed their match: 1) the engine immobiliser system is canceled and the engine starting controls (fuel injection control and ignition control) enter standby mode; and 2) the ecu receives a security indicator light signal, and turns the security indicator light off.
