Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMM-121 PIN code
Condition
The immobilizer control module checks the memory circuit, EEPROM, when a new PIN is written into the memory (during initiation). Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) IMM-121 is stored if there is a fault. Faults causing diagnostic trouble code (DTC) IMM-121 to be stored also cause IMM-112 to be stored.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is erased when the counter value reaches 254.
Possible Source
- Fault in control module memory circuit, EEPROM.
- Faulty procedures when programming.
- The immobilizer control module is not initiated.
- The immobilizer control module does not accept or cannot read the PIN code while initiating.
Fault symptom[s]
- The control module cannot be initiated.
- Engine starts but stops immediately.
