Key FOBS
Now let’s say your customer
comes to you and has purchased a
new fob and needs to get this third
fob registered to the vehicle. This is
a bit tricky, but not too bad if you
proceed methodically. Start by writing
down the ID number found on
the outside of the new fob’s package.
Important note: For security reasons,
unlike the tire pressure sensor, the
fob’s ID number is on the packaging,
not on the part itself. Without this ID
number the new fob cannot be registered,
so don’t discard the packaging
before recording the number. From
the KI-PASS menu, select FOB REGISTRATION,
then from the new menu
choose ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION.
Lay the new fob within a few
inches of the SMART ECU (the ECU
in the very center of the motorcycle).
Type in the new fob’s ID number,
then click ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION.
However, you’re not done yet,
as this procedure registers only the

Type in the new fob’s ID number,
then click ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION.
However, you’re not done yet,
as this procedure registers only the
work, repeat the transponder registration
procedure for all the fobs.
Now let’s suppose a customer has
lost one of the fobs. You will want to
encourage your customer to re-register
all the remaining fobs so that the
lost fob will be disassociated in the
ECU, preventing unauthorized use
and providing the customer with the
maximum security possible. Starting
from the KI-PASS menu, select FOB
REGISTRATION, then REREGISTRATION.
Lay all the remaining fobs
near the smart ECU. When KDS asks
if you have all the fobs together, click
YES. The result will be the vehicle
will now recognize only those fobs.
If at some point the customer
recovers the lost fob, you can use this
exact same process to re-associate the
(now) three fobs. Remember to lay
all three fobs near the smart ECU. If
on the other hand the customer ends
up buying a replacement for the lost
third fob, follow the procedure for
adding a fob, above.
It may be useful to compare the
Immobilizer and KI-PASS on the
Concours™ with the similarly-featured
Immobilizer on the Jet Ski®
Ultra® 250X/Ultra® LX. Where the
two vehicles are similar is that they
both use electronic keys. In fact, the
Immobilizer circuits on each are very
similar. Each vehicle’s ECU can store
up to six key codes, and each vehicle
is delivered to the customer with just
two keys and two key “slots” already
taken up in the ECU. Also, each vehicle
allows the technician to increase
or decrease the number of working
keys. From there things get very
different. Obviously, the Concours™
KI-PASS system is much more sophisticated
than the Ultra’s Immobilizer,
and adds features such as TPMS and
the ability to sense when the fob is
out of range, which the Ultra’s system
doesn’t do. In fact, you can look at the
Ultra’s Immobilizer system as simply
preventative, locking out the wrong
key, while the Concours™ system is
more preemptive, requiring a sort
of “daisy-chain” of confi rmations
between no fewer than three onboard
ECUs before the system will power
up. Other differences? Well, come to
our hands-on courses this training
season and fi nd out!
Hopefully this tutorial on the new
KDS version 3.0 has opened your
eyes to the resourcefulness of this
diagnostic tool, and more importantly,
given you some insight into the
practical use of KDS on Kawasaki vehicles.
KDS 2.4 will no longer be supported
starting with the 2009 model
year, so be diligent in learning about
and using the new version 3.0. Kawasaki
offers one-day hands-on classes
in KDS 3.0, and two-day hands-on
classes on the new Concours™ 14
at fi ve locations around the country.
