Anti-theft Immobilizer: Security system that prevents the car from starting if the ignition key is not the correct one.
Read more
The anti-theft or immobilizing system is automatic and it begins working as soon as the key is inserted. If the key is not the right one, this system activates different blockages in the car to prevent it from starting. It blocks the injection system and that disables the entire ignition system of the car.
I lost the key so I got one from the junkyard and now the anti theft is not letting me start the car I've done all the little tricks with the battery terminals held together for a half hour I have put the car on a battery charger with the ignition on for over an hour and still nothing has reset so does anybody have any advice for a individual that doesn't really have a lot of money
Does anybody have suggestions cuz I'm going to burn it to the ground because that's what happens when I mess with electrical and I would prefer not to do that my wife will kill me not literally
I don´t think any of those diy solutions would work. The only thing you can do is to use a proper scanner to pair the new key with the ECU. That's the only way to make the ECU recognize the new key, it's a matter of software reprogramming.
