DTC B2799 Engine Immobiliser System Malfunction: Description

This document provides information about the diagnostic trouble code B2799 "Engine Immobiliser System Malfunction" for a vehicle's engine immobilizer system. It indicates that the error can occur due to communication errors between the engine control module (ECM) and transponder key ECU, or issues with the communication lines. The inspection procedure checks for the DTC again after clearing it, tests the wiring harness between the ECU and ECM for faults, and replaces the transponder key ECU temporarily to test if the engine starts normally.
