BMW CAS3 Immobiliser Module Repair

BMW CAS3 (Car Access System) Immobiliser ECU Repairs
Are you having ignition problems? Does your BMW vehicle not start? If so, this could be due to an issue with your CAS immobiliser module.

The CAS immobiliser module (transponder box) serves as an antitheft alarm system and enables the start of BMW vehicles. Within each vehicle key there is an integrated transponder chip, and a coil ring which is fitted around the ignition lock. The transponder chip is powered by this coil from the CAS module, meaning that no battery is necessary within the key. When your key is inserted in to the ignition, the transponder in the key is powered via the loop antenna, and key data is sent to the CAS control module. If the key data is correct, an enable signal is then sent to the starter and the CAS module then sends the random code to the Engine Control Module (DME / DDE) where the random code is checked against the saved random code. Only if they match, is the fuel injection released allowing the car to start.

Common faults associated with the BMW CAS3 Immobiliser module
As mentioned above, some of the issues that you may encounter if you have a problem with your BMW CAS3 module are:

• Immobiliser Fault Codes
• No Communication with CAS3 Module
• Vehicle Won’t Start
• Key Not Recognised

Most workshops will advise to replace the immobiliser module because they are unable to repair it. It’s not possible to replace them with a second hand part because the unit will be locked to the vehicle it came from and unless you’re buying a complete immobiliser kit, you will require a new CAS3 module and the unit must be programmed.
