General description:
From 06.00 a third generation immobilizer is installed in the Alhambra, one of two versions is installed depending on the type of engine.
On one version the immobilizer control unit and engine control unit communicate with one another via the data bus, on the other version this communication is via W-wire.
The corresponding communication method should be determined beforehand using the display group 001 → Anchor via the “Read data block” function → Chapter.
Communications are implemented via the W-wire if the first display zone contains the Baud rate in the form of a number.
The text “data bus” means the communication is via data bus.
The immobilizer consist of:
t  an immobilizer control unit,
t  an adapted (matched) engine control unit,
t  a reader coil on ignition lock,
t  adapted (matched) ignition keys with electronic components (transponder and response reader memory),
t  and the immobilizer warning lamp -K117-.
