GENERAL INFORMATION

MITSUBISHI L200 MOTOR 4D56

The engine immobilizer system prevents the engine from starting and immobilizes the
vehicle if a key other than the key registered for that vehicle is used in an attempt to start
the engine after forced entry. The engine immobilizer system consists of the ignition key,
key ring antenna, immobilizer-ECU and the engine-ECU. It works in the following way and
has these functions.
El sistema inmovilizador del motor evita que el motor arranque e inmoviliza el vehículo si se utiliza una llave que no
sea la llave registrada para ese vehículo en un intento de arrancar el motor después de la entrada forzada. El sistema
de inmovilizador del motor consiste en la llave de encendido, la antena de llavero, la ECU del inmovilizador y la ECU
del motor. Funciona de la siguiente manera y tiene estas funciones.

1. With the ignition key turned ON, the transponder (a small transmitter) integrated in
the ignition key transmits its own encrypted code to the key ring antenna via radio
wave.
2. According to the sent encrypted code, the immobilizer-ECU controls the engine-
ECU only when the sent encrypted code agrees with the pre-registered one.
3. The system is designed to be maintenance-free because the power source for the
transponder is supplied by the immobilizer-ECU. Two ignition keys are provided,
and up to eight keys can be registered to one vehicle as needed. More than one
trillion of encrypted code combinations can be registered, and parts of them are
irregularly changed whenever the ignition key is turned ON. This feature prevents
code copying, resulting in higher security of the system.

1. Con la llave de encendido ENCENDIDA, el transpondedor (un transmisor pequeño) integrado en la llave de
encendido transmite su propio código encriptado a la antena de timbre a través de una onda de radio.
2. Según el código cifrado enviado, la ECU del inmovilizador controla la ECU del motor solo cuando el código
encriptado enviado coincide con el prerregistrado.
3. El sistema está diseñado para no requerir mantenimiento porque la fuente de alimentación del transpondedor es
suministrada por la ECU del inmovilizador. Se proporcionan dos llaves de encendido, y se pueden registrar hasta ocho
llaves en un vehículo según sea necesario. Se pueden registrar más de un billón de combinaciones de códigos
encriptados, y partes de ellos se cambian irregularmente cada vez que se enciende la llave de encendido. Esta
característica evita la copia de código, lo que da como resultado una mayor seguridad del sistema.

MAIN COMPONENTS

Component Outline of function

name
Transponder Is power-supplied by the key ring antenna. When the transponder receives
random number data, the transponder processes random number data and
the encrypted code. Then it transmits the process result to the immobilizer-
ECU.
Key ring The immobilizer-ECU supplies power via an antenna on a steering lock by
antenna transmission of electromagnetic waves to a transponder built into a key,
using magnetic coupling
Immobilizer-
ECU
 Supplies electrical power to the transponder integrated in the
ignition key, and transmits random number data.
 Verifies the encrypted code which is sent from the transponder. If
the code is correct, it sends an engine mobilization signal to the
engine-ECU.

Engine-ECU Starts the engine, and then continues the engine running if an engine
mobilization signal is confirmed. If an engine immobilization signal is
confirmed, the ECU cancels the engine control and stops the engine.

ENCRYPTED CODE REGISTRATION CRITERIA TABLE

Do not replace the engine-ECU and immobilizer-ECU simultaneously.

caution Always replace the ECU by ones when the multiple ECU is replaced,
and then replace the next ECU after registering the necessary IDs.
The ignition key contains a transponder (small transmitter), which retains an unique
encrypted code. Under any of the conditions described in the table below, the Chassis No.
and encrypted code should be registered in the immobilizer-ECU or engine-ECU again. In
addition, the keyless entry secret code should be registered in the ignition key (with
transmitter).
The immobilizer-ECU can retain maximum eight different ignition key in
note
the memory.
