Since remote control convenience and immobilizer systems have been around for more than 10 years on most models, this information is very relevant to the aftermarket automotive repair industry. Normally this information has been available only to the dealer franchise system. As an example, the service interval indicator warning device on the fascia may be flashing or the “light on”, a major annoyance to the customer. How do you put the light out? Or, the engine starts then immediately dies, coupled with rapid flashing of the engine management warning lamp – a typical example of an immobilizer/key recognition fault. How do you reset the key/immobilizer? Autodata’s manual provides the answers.

• 1. Programming of keys/remote transmitters for remote control alarms & central locking systems.


• 2. Programming of key/remote transmitters for stand alone immobilizer systems.


• 3. Battery replacement for the key or remote control transmitter.


• 4. Resetting procedures for the service interval indicator
