Real-World Scenario

Immobiliser fault preventing engine start? The engine cranks but won't fire — a common symptom of an immobiliser glitch. This can be caused by a weak key fob battery, a faulty transponder, or a software issue. Our diagnostic equipment can identify the cause at your door.

What NOT to Do

Don't repeatedly crank the engine when it won't start — you'll drain the battery completely and may damage the starter motor. Three attempts maximum, then call us.
