Thread: can a key fob be reprogrammed or am i screwed?

unhook the battery for 5 mins and see if that resets

ive done than just now and see how it goes, i hope it doesnt make things worse( being LR you never know..)

no go with the battry discinected for 5 mins. any other suggestions some one must know?

thank you

from what im reading the imoboliser has to progamed to sync with the key fob?
is this correct? can any 1 on aulro do that in brisbane.. prepared to pay cash or beer to get this thing sorted

If it's a D2 (1997 sounds more like a D1) try resetting the inertia/fuel cutoff switch on the passenger side bulkhead. The top of the intertia/cutoff switch is a rubber covered button which needs to be pushed in to reset.

When you are messing around in the engine bay on the passenger side it's easy enough to knock the inertia switch and trigger the fuel cutoff, resulting in flashing indicators and inability to start the engine. The inertia switch can also prevent door locking if the ignition is in position II.

It's worth a try anyway...

cheers

it def a d1 dont know why i listed under d2 sorry about that, its def a imoboliser issue as lights are on dash( i tried the inertia switch trick)

whats the thing called to plug in and reprogram the imoboliser ecu?

central locking is working via use of the key

key fob does nothing

thank again
