Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual: Immobilizer System (Equipped Models)

Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / Electrical System / Immobilizer System (Equipped Models)

This motorcycle is equipped with an immobilizer system to protect the motorcycle from theft. This system provides a theft proof device by means of matching a code between the inbuilt key transponder and ECU. If the code does notmatch, ignition system, injectors, subthrottle valve actuator and exhaust butterfly valve actuator will not operate and the engine will not start.

Abstract

Do not keep more than one immobilizer key of any system on a key ring. Jamming of the key code signal may occur and the operation of the system may be affected.
The warning indicator light (Red LED) will blink for a period of 24 hours once the ignition switch has been switched off and the key removed. This blinking can be set to on or off as desired by holding the Upper and Lower buttons down for 2 seconds within 20 seconds of switching the ignition off.
If all coded keys are lost the ECU and ignition switch will have to be replaced.
The immobilizer system can not function until the ignition key code is registered in the ECU.
A total of five keys can be registered in the ECU at any one time.
