# Service bulletin BTS180401

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Tech line summary article \- Can?t get past this screen when adding keys with the Immobilizer Setup Tool in the i\-HDS? "Tester is not communicating with immobilizer unit".
