Immobilizer
The "Immobilizer" is a simple theft-deterrent feature that, when enabled, can prevent a Volvo engine from unauthorized starting. Each time the vehicle is keyed off, the Driver Instrument Display (DID) displays a message for 15 seconds requesting a password to enable the Immobilizer. If the PIN code is not entered during the 15 seconds after key-off, the Immobilizer remains disabled, and the vehicle can be started normally at next key-on. If the driver wants to enable the Immobilizer, he or she enters a 3-digit code (PIN code) into the DID using the stalk switch; this code activates the anti-theft function. After the password is entered, the DID will display "Security Code Active," indicating that the Immobilizer has been enabled. When the Immobilizer is enabled, a driver will be able to start the vehicle only after entering the correct 3-digit PIN code into the DID using the stalk switch. The driver will be prompted for the PIN code until the correct 3-digit code is entered. If an incorrect code is entered, or if the engine is cranked before the correct password is entered, the engine will run for only about 5 seconds. The INFO light will illuminate and the "Check Engine" message will be displayed. The ignition key must then be cycled OFF and back ON to reset this message and enter the correct password.

You must read and understand the precautions and guidelines in Service Information, group 3, "General Safety Practices, Electrical and Electronics" before performing this procedure. If you are not properly trained and certified in this procedure, ask your supervisor for training before you perform it.

Overview
In order to configure the engine immobilizer feature, four steps are required:

Determine if the vehicle is properly equipped for the feature.

Perform Immobilizer Accessory Kit Programming Reprogram the Engine ECU. Reprogram the Instrument Cluster. Configure the values for 2 parameters. Vehicle Equipment Required
Engine: The Engine Immobilizer feature is available only for VERSION2 vehicles with Volvo engines. Instrument Cluster: The Engine Immobilizer feature cannot be used on vehicles with the Basic Instrument Cluster. This feature requires the vehicle to be equipped with the Medium or High-level Instrument Cluster.

Accessory Kit, Programming

1 Start the VCADS Pro application and connect the PC to the vehicles communication connector. 2 Identify the vehicle within the application and select the Conversion Kit operation from the Function Group 1 section of the menu. 3 Connect the PC to a communication line (telephone or network) and start the operation.

4 Select the Accessory Kit option when it becomes available and enter 85108353 into the space provided. Note: A connection to the Volvo Central Systems is made to check for available conversion kits before the Accessory Kit option becomes available. Do not select any of the available conversion kits that are shown in the lower section of the window. 5 To connect to the Volvo Central Systems, enter a digipass-generated password, or static password when requested. When the operation has completed successfully, the remaining programming operations can be carried out. Note: Completion of the Accessory Kit Programming is required before reprogramming of the Engine ECU (MID 128) and Instrument Cluster (MID 140) is carried out.
