immobiliser problems AGAIN.

[mickstoke]

having problems with the immobiliser again. Last week i put the key in and turned to start the engine turned over 2 or 3 time and stopped,looked at the immobiliser light and it was flashing, i went out to the car this morning to go to work put key in turned to start and nothing, the immobiliser light stayed on and it took me 30mins before the light finally went off. anyone shed any light on this?

can the immobiliser be taken off the ecu?
can a secondhand key pick up ring be recoded to another clio?

[mickstoke]

This happened to my PH1 and I just rang the local auto lec and he came round and removed the immobiliser from the ECU. £250 job done

Take your steering coloum covers off and check the connections on the decoder ring (around the ignition barrel) also make sure there isnt any dirt/crumbs/chewing gum wrappers under there

 

[mickstoke]

so it can be removed?

done this mate everything seems fine. dianostics read that there was a intermitent key reading fault.

 

[Jay Payne]

Could try getting another key cut or borrow a decoder ring off anoter car

 

[mickstoke]

will a decoder ring just fit straight on or will it need recoding?

 

[Jay Payne]

Straight fit as far as i know

 

[mickstoke]

cheers mate. trip to the scrappy this weekend it is then

Yep the guy who done mine just took the ECU off sent it somewhere.
When he put it back in it starts first time everytime and from time to time the light still flashes constantly as if it shouldn't start, but does.

 

[Jay Payne]

Paul at RSTuning can do them iirc

 

[mickstoke]
