Honda HR-V: Immobilizer System Description - Overview
An immobilizer system adds a second electronic layer of security to the vehicle. If the key matches mechanically, but the electronic check does not match, the engine control computer suspends fuel delivery and shuts down the engine. Refer to the keyless remote system description for assistance, because the immobilizer function is merged into the keyless remote system when a vehicle has the keyless remote system.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION - COMPONENTS
Immobilizer Indicator
The immobilizer system turns on the indicator light after the ignition system enters the vehicle ON mode and then starts the authentication process. The indicator light comes off after the control unit confirms the chip code is correct. The indicator light in this step tells an abnormality in the system, or success/failure of the key authentication.
Ignition Key
Vehicles equipped with the immobilizer system have an identification marking on the mechanical key. Consider this identification marking as a proof of the vehicle having the immobilizer system.
