SUBJECT:
RES Immobilizer Antenna Ring Clip
INTRODUCTION
In order to ensure proper transmission and reception of the transponder information signal from the remote engine starter immobilizer interface,
placement of the immobilizer interface antenna ring around the ignition cylinder is critical. Slight variations in placement of the immobilizer interface
antenna ring could potentially cause performance concerns under various conditions. Difficulty with key registration and intermittent RES operation in
certain weather/temperature conditions are two examples.
Recently, a plastic RES Immobilizer Antenna Ring Clip was developed to help control placement of the antenna ring as well as minimize movement after
installation. Refer to the installation instructions for installing the Antenna Ring Clip. Also, refer to the RES kit installation instructions, if needed.
