Engine Immobilizer System
Does anyone else see their "Engine Immobilizer" light/icon flashing upon powering down their TCH? Perhaps I just never noticed it blinking on and off before as I walk away from the car. My wife tells me that I am losing it and she asks me - how can you have owned the car for the last 6 weeks without noticing this before?
Is it supposed to blink constantly until you start the car again? The owner manual seems to indicate this but I am not sure. The light/icon is a car with embedded key and the word "security"
Please tell me that I am only having a blue hair moment and that is the way it is supposed to work. Please advise.

Yes it is your security system telling you it's working. Walk away knowing a thief will have a tougher time than normal when he steals your car

Re: Engine Immobilizer System
With the Engine immobilizer is there any place I get additional details on how it works, how it's triggered, ect.
Is it basically an alarm system that prevents the engine from starting based on what type of activity? Glass breakage, ect....

Re: Engine Immobilizer System
It is only an engine immobilizer as far as I know. I added on the optional security upgrade which adds an audible alarm with glass breakage sensor. On that note, I have to bring mine back to the dealer because when I test the glass breakage sensor (using the procedure outlined in the manual) it doesn't work. <sigh>
