RENAULT IMMO DECODING TOOL
1. Introduction
The Renault Immo Decoding Tool has several modes of operation and covers all
known petrol and diesel injection systems, introduced in range of year 1994-2001 without
intervention in to the ECU (diesel coded anti-start valve as well). Systems, this tool was
tested with, are listed below:
GASOLINE DIESEL
MAGNETI MARELLI IAW 06R BOSCH MSA15.5 (DTI)
BOSCH MOTRONIC MP7.0 BOSCH EDC15C3 (DCI)
SAGEM SAFIR2 (35pin) LUCAS DCU3R (1.9D)
SAGEM SAFIR (55pin) Coded fuel cut-off valve (1.9D DDS)
SIEMENS SIRIUS32
SIEMENS FENIX5
SIEMENS FENIX3

MODE button is used to switch between operation modes. Mode can be changed only
before pressing the START button. When decoding is in progress, MODE button
becomes not operational. There are 4 operation modes:
MODE GREEN LED STATE
Standard OFF
Advanced 1 ON
Advanced 2 Slow blinking
Semi-Auto (TYPE1 immo) Fast blinking

All you have to do is connect decoder to the ECU you want to decode, according to
connection diagram, select desired operation mode and press the START button. Which
mode is to be selected depend on engine immobilizer type and several other factors,
described below. Connect ground, battery +12V, MIL lamp and relay (if required). Use
any 12V lamp (up to 2W), any relay with 12Vcoil and 12-14V power supply (over-
current protection would be an advantage). Apply +12V IGN, lamp must blink. If lamp
goes on and does not blink, ECU is already not coded or there is mistake in connection.
Connect decoder box as follows: red wire to ECU’s +12V BAT, black wire to GND,
yellow wire to ECU’s +12V IGN (decoder switches +12V on and off by itself) and green
wire to ECU’s immobilizer input.
2.1. Immobilizer system overview
Renault immobilizer systems are divided into three types – TYPE1, TYPE2 and
TYPE3. This tool is able to decode ECUs with TYPE1 and TYPE2 immobilizer.
Engine ECU from the TYPE2 system is decoded automatically with this tool; therefore
TYPE1 ECU decoding is semi automatic. It is very easy to find out what type of
immobilizer is used with ECU you want to decode: if after ignition-on malfunction
indicator lamp(MIL) illuminates for 2 seconds then starts to flash, this is TYPE2
immobilizer system; if after ignition-on malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flashes
immediately, this is TYPE1 immobilizer system.

2.2. Decoding TYPE2 immobilizer system engine ECU
Decoding process is fully automated. On SIEMENS FENIX5, SIRIUS32 and
coded solenoid valve select Standard type of operation (green LED off). Other systems
may require Advanced 1 or Advanced 2 mode (especially engine control systems, where
ignition-on signal to ECU is passed via fuel pump relay coil, e.g. SAFIR2), but is worth to
try Standard mode first. Decoding in Standard mode takes about 1h 50min, in Advanced 1

– almost 4h, in Advanced 2 – more than 5h. In most cases 1h 50min is enough to make

permanently.
After decoding, ECU is not coded and can be used on another car. If immobilizer system
is ok (valid key), ECU retains new code from immobilizer control unit after ignition on.
Most of decoded ECU can operate without immobilizer code stored (Fenix 5, diesel coded
solenoid valve, some of SIRIUS 32, …), other require immobilizer code to be stored.
2.3. Decoding TYPE1 immobilizer system engine ECU
Select Semi-Auto operation mode (fast green LED blinking). Press START button.
After every ignition-on, MIL immediately starts to blink fast. Watch the ECU MIL lamp
and count number of ignition-on (start counting from 1). Note number of ignition-on
cycles when MIL stops blinking for a while. Use Type1.exe to convert this number to
security code.
ECU is not decoded after this procedure; you only found out its security code! Count
number can be in range 1-255. In worst case when MIL stops to blink on 255-th ignition-
on, counting takes about 8 minutes.
Put ECU back to car and turn key to ignition-on. Injection fault lamp
flashes quickly.
1. Depress and keep depressed accelerator pedal fully – injection fault lamp extinguishes.
To enter security code use trip computer button on the end of wiper control stalk. This
button is called ADAC button.
2. Press the button the same number of times as the first figure of the code, checking
injection fault lamp illumination each time the switch is pressed.
3. Release the accelerator pedal: injection fault lamp flashes.

Repeat operations 1, 2 and 3 to enter in succession the three other digits of the code.
When the code has been entered the injection fault lamp should be illuminated
continuously for 2sec and then must to extinguish. ECU is no longer protected by
immobilizer and is ready to retain new code. If injection fault lamp flashes, the code is
incorrect. Switch off the ignition, switch it on again and repeat procedure for entering
code.
Procedure for code entering can be performed without car as well. Accelerator
pedal depressing-releasing emulate using throttle position potentiometer connected to the
ECU, button connect between ground wire and immobilizer line (see wiring drawings).
