Engine immobilizer system [Toyota Camry XV30]

The engine immobilizer system is designed to prevent theft of the vehicle. When you insert the key into the ignition, the transponder chip in the key head transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine starts only if the electronic code in the chip matches the registered identification code of the vehicle.



The system is switched on automatically when the key is removed from the ignition switch. The indicator lamp starts flashing, indicating that the system is switched on (Fig. 1.25).

If any of the following indicator conditions occur, contact your Toyota dealer.

• The indicator lamp remains on.
• The indicator lamp does not start flashing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
• The indicator lamp flashes unevenly.

By inserting the registered key into the ignition switch, you automatically switch off the system, which makes it possible to start the engine. The indicator lamp goes out.

In order for your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with a built-in transponder chip, the dealer must have your key number and the master key. However, there is a limit to the number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you.

If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to unlock the system or start the engine.
