After work intended to address an immobilizer warning with a no-start, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record the exact security light pattern and whether a spare key works. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Keep other transponders away from the key and check the manual’s key-recognition procedure. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
