Hotwire An Iveco?

[Steve P]

Anybody out there know how to hotwire an Iveco Daily (2001 model).

 

Mines been playing up lately and I think that it's the immobilser - it cranks over but won't start. Eventually if you try it enough times it goes. This happens even if you only turned it off a few moments ago. I think that when this happens the little key symbol on the dash flashes - which indicates that the immobiliser is active.

 

The immobiliser is one of those types whereby the key has something built into it but does not require batteries.

 

I'm getting rid soon and I don't want to waste money having Iveco sort this out - the van's not worth much.

 

Have had a look at the diesel pump - was hoping to spot the stop solenoid. I was then just going to add some relays or a live feed (whatever is required dependant upon how it works) to get round the immobiliser. But the pump has more wires going to it than I expected (although this is not HPI engine with electric injectors or anything fancy) and the one solenoid I can see doesn't seem to move at all between running and stopped.

 

Can anybody help?

:) I can't believe anyone would ask such a question and expect an answer.....

 

You could try asking in a pub on the wrong side of town.....

 

or drive up to Liverpool, park anywhere, leave door open and someone will demonstrate how its done in next to no time.... :P

Ok - I'll rephrase it.

 

Does anybody know how the immobilser works?

 

or

Does anybody know how to deactivate the immobiliser?

 

or

 

Does anybody know how I might find out.

 

If I take it to Iveco they will just keep throwing new parts at it.

 

It might not be the immobilser! If I can find out the things works I can circumvent it (!!) to confirm that is the fault!

 

Cheers

Don't know diddly sqaut about the Iveco....however.

 

Looking at the problem if it was a Diesel Galaxy your symptoms would most likely be an ignition relay issue.

Try tapping the relay whilst the engine is turning over and see if it starts.

 

Unlikely to be the immobiliser.
