Thread: Failure to Proceed

Something to do with the immobiliser?

It seems to have a safety setup in the ignition to prevent "double starting". If ,as you did , initiate the start sequence but dont complete you have to turn the key completely 'OFF" and redo the sequence again, Which is what you unwittingly did by popping the bonnet and poking and prodding Both the defender and the Disco do it, although the td5 cant seem to make up its mind as to it should just turn off or have to remove the key and start all over! 9 out of 10 turn off is ok then for some reason it demands I remove and replace the key b4 it will agree
On the defender it seems to be a simple interrupter pin whereas the TD5 appears security controlled related

Mine has done this a few times. You think it has started but it just misses and stalls. When you try to start again, it turns over but no fire.

To fix, I use the fob to lock the doors and then re-open, usually in the ignition. It has always started after this procedure.

I haven't pulled the key out and then replaced, so I must try that next time

Same thing has happened to mine a few times, I understand it is something to do with the exciter ring for the passive immobilizer not energizing correctly, a lock and unlock resets it

Same for me, lock unlock and away it goes
