2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T PremiumSECTION Notes
  • Communication between the ECM and the SMARTRA.
  • Function of the SMARTRA and the transponder.
  • Data (stored in the ECM related to the immobilizer function.

The following table shows the assignment of immobilizer related faults to each type:
