    Abstract: A fingerprint identification system for a motor vehicle includes an ignition mode setting unit, a matching board and an engine control unit. The ignition mode setting unit identifies an ignition mode, scans and reads an input fingerprint, and sets and deletes a registered fingerprint. The matching board stores the registered fingerprint and compares the input fingerprint with the registered fingerprint to output an output signal. The engine control unit receives the output signal to output a control signal for controlling a key lock/release and a steering wheel lock/release.
