Memorising

The system is capable of memorising up to 7 keys plus the MASTER KEY. Correct memorising needs two keys plus the MASTER key.

During production testing the keys were memorised and the system is tested and working. If the need arises, for servicing reasons, to replace faulty components or there is the need for more keys than those supplied the key memorising procedure must be carried out. There are two types of ways to memorise the keys.

• Memorising procedure, with a brand new system (C.C.E. and C.C.M. new).
• Re-memorising procedure, which is carried out under the following circumstances.

• the addition of other keys besides those already memorised in the C.C.E.
• if it is absolutely necessary to change the ignition lock. In this circumstance, in fact, it is possible to keep the only the Transponder of the MASTER key of the old set of keys, which, once inserted in the new key (see specific procedure) makes it possible to memorise the other keys provided with the new ignition lock.
• changing the C.C.E.

MEMORISING

Before starting to programme the keys, it is necessary to check whether the system is brand new or if any keys have been memorised; this can be done by displaying the indications of the diagnosis warning light or connecting to the Alfa Tester. The use of a faulty or already memorised C.C.E. would in fact involve the irreversible memorising of an incorrect code in the C.C.M. which it will no longer be possible to use in future on other cars.

The memorising procedure is divided into two strictly consecutive phases:

1. Memorising the keys inside the C.C.E.
2. Memorising the MASTER CODE in the engine control system control unit (if brand new). This is carried out only when the first one has been carried out with a positive result, turning the key to MARCIA.
