To understand an immobilizer warning with a no-start, compare it under normal, safe conditions: cold versus warm, idle versus steady speed, and light versus higher load. Record the exact security light pattern and whether a spare key works. Change one condition at a time so the result stays useful.
Do not create a risky test just to reproduce it. Keep other transponders away from the key and check the manual’s key-recognition procedure.
Quick educational note
For information, not a diagnosis or repair instruction. Vehicle-specific checks are still required. Consult the manufacturer's guidance and a qualified technician.
