The "immobilizer" system bypasses the fuel pump and is active whenever the car is off and the key is out of the ignition. It is deacctivated when a proper ignition key is recognized. The keys have a transponder imbedded in the head which is recognized by the immobi receiver in the steering column.
The two systems are independant of each other. There is no "ignition" kill on the TSX from the factory.

The "security" system will disarm when the doors are unlocked with the key or keyless remote. The "security" can also be triggered by battery voltage drop, unplugging the radio, or the trunk opener button.

Good summary of the security system. But the system doesn't have current/voltage sensing though...

Btw, I too have the ETM and see what you are referring to. However, not all designs necessarily made it to production.
