STEP 5. Check immobilizer-ECU connector D-121 and 
ignition key ring antenna connector D-201 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Are immobilizer-ECU connector D-121 and ignition key 

ring antenna connector D-201 in good condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair or replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Retest the 

system.

STEP 6. Check the harness wires between immobilizer-
ECU connector D-121 and ignition key ring antenna 
connector D-201.
Q: Are the harness wires between immobilizer-ECU 

connector D-121 and ignition key ring antenna 
connector D-201 in good condition?
YES : 
replace the immobilizer-ECU. Then register the 

password (secret code) and encrypted code 

P.54A-

22

. Retest the system.

NO :  Repair them. Retest the system.

DTC12: Encrypted Codes are Not the Same or Not Registered

.

DTC SET CONDITION
The encrypted code sent by the transponder is not the same 
encrypted code which is registered in the immobilizer-ECU.
NOTE: DTC 12 is always output together with MFI system DTC 
P1610.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The encrypted code in the ignition key has not been prop-

erly registered 

• Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU

.

DIAGNOSIS
Was the encrypted code registered?

YES : Replace the immobilizer and then re-register the 

encrypted code (Refer to 

P.54A-22

.)

NO :  Register the encrypted code (Refer to 

P.54A-22

.)

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The Immobilizer-ECU is energized by the MFI relay 
when the ignition switch is turned "ON". The PCM 
transmits a signal from scan tool MB991502 to the 
immobilizer-ECU as it is. In the same way, a signal 
from the immobilizer-ECU is also transmitted to scan 
tool MB991502 as it is.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

• This malfunction may be caused by a defective 

immobilizer-ECU, PCM, or a defect in the com-
munication line between the immobilizer-ECU 
and PCM. If this malfunction appears when the 
MFI system and scan tool MB991502 can com-
municate each other, MFI system DTC P1610 will 
reset.

• If the MFI system is normal, the MFI relay can be 

determined as normal. In addition, if the MFI sys-
tem and scan tool MB991502 can communicate 
each other, the circuits between the data link con-
nector and the PCM can determined as normal.
NOTE: If this malfunction appears, MFI system 
DTC P1610 will be output.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the immobilizer-ECU

• Malfunction of the PCM

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check if scan tool MB991502 can communicate 
with the MFI system and if an MFI system DTC other than 
P1610 is output. 
Q: Can scan tool MB991502 communicate with the MFI 

system? Is an MFI system DTC other than P1610 
output?
YES : 
Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to GROUP 13A, Multiport Fuel Injection
