Abstract
A method for protecting a vehicle, the method may include providing, by an immobilizer, false error information that is associated with a false error; wherein the false error information, once received or processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, contributes to an immobilizing the vehicle during a vehicle start process; and sending the false error information to the ECU, during a vehicle shut down process that preceded the vehicle start process.
Claims30
A method for protecting a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing, by an immobilizer, false error information that is associated with a false error;
- wherein the false error information, once received or processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, contributes to an immobilizing the vehicle during a vehicle start process;
- and
- sending the false error information to the ECU, during a vehicle shut down process that preceded the vehicle start process.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that once executed by an immobilizer, cause the immobilizer to execute the steps of:
- providing false error information that is associated with a false error;
- wherein the false error information, once received or processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, contributes to an immobilizing the vehicle during a vehicle start process;
- and sending the false error information to the ECU, during a vehicle shut down process that preceded the vehicle start process.
An immobilizer that comprises a communication module and a processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to provide false error information that is associated with a false error;
- wherein the false error information, once received or processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, contributes to an immobilizing the vehicle during a vehicle start process;
- and wherein the communication module is configured to send the false error information to the ECU, during a vehicle shut down process that preceded the vehicle start process.
