• Prevent unauthorized starting

• Stop hot-wiring

• Prevent cloning of key signals

Communicates with:

• Key fob

• Body Control Module (BCM)

• Engine Control Module (ECM)

• Security system

5. Enable convenience features

• Remote start

• Push-to-start ignition

• Automatic door-lock/unlock based on fob proximity
