Introduction
Immobiliser
The immobiliser fitted to the current vehicles is a standard electronic device, which protects
the vehicle against unauthorised starting of the vehicle.
In the event that the immobiliser system detects an unauthorised operation of the vehicle,
the engine switches off, the ignition is interrupted and the fuel injection will not take place.
In contrast, when the immobiliser "acknowledges" an authorised operation of the control
units, in turn the vehicle can be started.

Generations of immobilisers
Immobilisers of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation are fitted to older Škoda models such as
Fabia I, Octavia I, Superb I. In order to meet the ever rising demands for vehicle security,
the currently produced Škoda models feature a new and improved immobiliser system of
the 4th generation.
1st generation:
• The immobiliser control unit consists of a separate component that is fitted outside the
dash panel insert.
• The communication between the immobiliser control unit and the engine control unit is
performed via the K-line.
• A fixed code is stored in the ignition key.
2nd generation: Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not permitted

• The communication between the immobiliser control unit and the engine control unit is
performed via the serial line.
• The fixed code sequence of the transponder (FKC) is supplemented by the second
code sequence that is generated on the basis of communication with the immobiliser
control unit.
• The individual data, generated by the immobiliser control unit and the engine control
unit, are used for the communication between the system components.
3rd generation:
Differences to the previous generation:
• The communication between the immobiliser control unit and the engine control unit is
now performed via the CAN data bus.
4th generation:
Differences to the previous generation:
• Compared to the third generation, additional security features have been added.
You will find a detailed description of the function of the 1st generation
of immobiliser in the Self-Study Programme No. 9.

4th generation of immobiliser
Specific features
Prerequisite for the correct operation of the immobiliser (for example, after replacing one of the
elements) is the mutual adaptation of all system components.
First the engine control unit has to be adapted, which takes over the specific vehicle code
(SKC code) and the password of the immobiliser control unit from the immobiliser control unit
and in return transmits the password for the engine control unit and the blocking code of the
engine control unit to the immobiliser control unit. After checking the correct code for certain
vehicle makes, the keys are adapted (they take over the specific vehicle code from the
immobiliser control unit and the immobiliser control unit takes over the fixed code of the key).

4th generation of immobiliser - on-line
• All data of the immobiliser are retrieved from the central database FAZIT via the on-line
connection. There is no data transfer between the control units.
• It is necessary to store all the operations carried out on the vehicle (in connection with the
components involved with the immobiliser system) in the central database FAZIT
(known as "The life of the vehicle").
• Necessary access to GeKo (entry of the user name and the password).
Main component of the immobiliser of the 4th generation - on-line, connection to the central
database FAZIT.
FAZIT (Vehicle Information and Central Identification-Tool).
Interventions in the immobiliser system of the 4th generation - on-line, as well as the
replacement of the involved control units can only be made via the on-line connection to the
database.
All the changes to the data carried out during the service remain stored in the database
FAZIT.

On-line data transfer
• On-line enquiry of the database FAZIT by the diagnostic unit is the only way of ensuring safe,
rapid and reliable data transfer to the vehicle.
• All components involved with the immobiliser system must be adapted on-line.

4th generation of immobiliser - on-line
When replacing the components, it must be decided how many and which elements of the
immobiliser system should be changed. On this basis, either the adaptation of the new
components or a so-called "New identity of the vehicle" is created.
Adaptation
It is performed in the following cases, if:
New identity
It is performed in the following cases, if:
The "New identity of the vehicle" provides all control units, involved with the immobiliser
system, with new security data from the database FAZIT. These data are also stored in the
database FAZIT.

Every part of the immobiliser system has its unique identification code from the production.
It contains the information about the manufacturer, the date of manufacture and the serial
number. This identification code uses FAZIT to identify the individual parts of the system.
