The "Engine Immobilizer" is an OEM theft protection system that consists of a key that contains an RFID transponder and a device to read that transponder (which is part of the ignition switch assembly on so equipped Yaris). The ECM has the transponder keys' IDs registered and will only allow the engine to start upon reading those IDs. If you try to bypass the ignition switch to start the car, the starter will crank, but the engine will not start.

If your Yaris' ignition switch is all metal (inner and outer circles) then you don't have the immobilizer. If the inner circle is metal and the outer is black plastic, then you do.
