Title: Alarm reset.........?
Post by: Rayviator on 28 May 2011, 11:06:08

Hey guys. After snapping my key I had to wait for a replacement from the dealer. During this wait my battery went totally flat. Now, when I try to jump start it, it just keeps on turning over but never firing. And, as I turn the key, the alarm makes a little chirp noise. Is the alarm stopping me from starting????

If the immobilizer is stopping your car from starting then the e.m.l. should flash.

Have you misplaced the little chip from inside your key housing?

You need the little chip from your OLD key, it's coded to the Engine Control Unit in your car, thats why your Engine Management Light is flashing...

Hmmmmm, I threw that away as I give the dealer my owners manual to them which had a card inside with the code on it
