System overview
General
The start inhibition system is a comprehensive function for the prevention of the use of the vehicle but a non-authorised user. The
logic for start inhibition is in the central electronic module (CEM) and in the engine control module (ECM). The system for start
inhibition reads off a number of values from the CAN and the LIN in order to determine whether the criteria for the engine control
module (ECM) to activate the starter motor are met. The system for start inhibition reads off whether the immobilizer check is OK
or not. For further information, see section: System overview:Function
There are a number of functions in the car’s security system:
§ Immobilizer
§ Steering column lock
§ Key warning
§ Alcolock (option)
§ Remote-controlled immobilization (option, only certain markets).
The various functions depend on different control modules and components.

§ Central electronic module (CEM)
§ Steering Column Lock Module (SCL) (does not apply to USA/CDN market).
§ Engine control module (ECM)
§ Brake control module (BCM)
§ Transmission control module (TCM)
Included in the alcolock system (not in vehicles with the keyless entry locking system):
§ Central electronic module (CEM)
§ Driver information module (DIM)
§ Remote Receiver Module (RRX)
For further information about the different functions, see Function section.
Definitions:
Activated system: The system means that the vehicle cannot be started.
Deactivated system: Key check has been carried out and the remote key has been approved. The system permits the car to start.
