Component

Electrical system: ignition

Summary

Service bulletin - all of the listed vehicles have a type 4 immobilizer system that disables the vehicle unless a programmed ignition key is used. The type 4 system is different than previous systems in that the transponder id code in the key is a rolling-type code instead of a fixed code. In this service bulletin, a programmed ignition key refers to a transponder-type key that has been cut to fit the ignition switch and whose transponder id code is recognized by the immobilizer system. If you try to start the engine without a programmed ignition key, the engine cranks, but it does not start.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 1,012 complaints in the electrical category.
