anti theft!
hey all, im a little confused to what is acceptable as anti theft... i have had a little search and learnt a tiny bit but nothing clear.
my scenario: i dont have an ignition lock and barrell on my sierra column but i will be having a seperate ignition switch and a batt cut off, is this acceptable or will i have to fit an electronic immobiliser? thaughts? :confused: Michael |
From my reading of the IVA manual you need either a steering lock, or an electronic immobiliser.
It specifically says a manual battery switch is not considered an anti-theft device, so yes I think you will need an electronic immobiliser (unless you find a new column with the barrel / key intact). |

Butt Print technology, they've got to be having a laugh.
It MIGHT make it into some specialized vehicles but the first person that fits it to a kitcar should be shot as a warning for others.:eek: |
I dont think I could be arsed with that:rolleyes: :)

Make sure you have a certificate for the fitting of the imobiliserthey may want to see it.

the good book says
1. A vehicle MUST be fitted with either a mechanical anti – theft device or an electronic immobiliser 2. If fitted to the Vehicle, a anti – theft device a. must be operational b. must not operate on any part of the braking system 3. If it incorporates a mechanical part that acts upon a system used to control the vehicle a. It must Deactivate before the engine can be started b. It must be deactivated while the engine is running c. It must have a actuation which is a distinct and separate function from that of stopping the engine Where the vehicle has no mechanical anti - theft device fitted: 4. An electronic immobiliser must be fitted |
Wish mine didnt have a bleeding immobilizer tried to fire it all up yesterday got fuel but no spark ! Paperclip test and i get three codes
Secondary air pump failure Another insignificant one AND the good old immobilizer control unit failure ( no signal) Bugger ! All seems to point to cam sensor supposedly quite common ! Still pi$$ed on my chips |
