Imobiliser Fault

[Gaza]

We have seem to have a fault on our 2001 MK2 galaxy, the imobiliser stays on when the doors are unlocked after several tries on the ingnition the car starts.

the remote key does not unlock the car we have to use the locks. is it the imobiliser? has anyone had this problem ? Help!

Try reprogramming the remote central locking - the guide is in the handbook, or can be found on the net,

 

The immobiliser should stay on when you unlock the car.

 

The immobiliser is deactivated by a chip in the key, there is a sensor around the barrel which has to pick up the chip in the key.

 

What happens the first few times you try and turn the key?

 

 

From memory when we lost a chip from a key, if we turned the key quickly in the ignition then the immobiliser actually lets you start before it has chance to try and detect the chip, but then cuts out a few seconds after

batteries could need replacing in the remote? if it does not open the door locks. easy to do then recode the key if the time is exceeded on the change.

the instructions for reprogramming the remote/central locking are in the faqs in the tech section of the forum.

new batteries in the remote still no use BUT! by putting the red key on the key ring problem solved, must be a problem with the chip in the remote key.

open the key up to see if the pat chip is in place, be careful they are very small.
