Cutting wires won't help. It's fully tied into the ECU and the car won't run without it.I have a 2000 volkswagen jetta with immobilizer problems and will not start and will leave me stranded. Is there any way to disable this without having to cut wires? Any input appreciated.
It shuts the engine off after you start it if the chip in the key isn't right.What does the immobilizer function do?
This propblem is often caused by a defective reader coil in the ignition switch. When the transponder reader coil is bad, the transponder signal from the key fob is weak or non existant, so the immo locks out the ECU. If confirmed the problem, the ignition switch with transponder chip reader coil must be replaced.hello im new to the site and seems all of you are having the same problem as i am i think i tried everything including the key on and the battery charger hooked up still nothing every one in awhile the car will just start up normal and now the air bag light is staying on any help would be great
I have the immobilizer lights on. Car start and shut off in 2 sec. Tried left the key in on position with charger to battery for couple of hours, also touching both positive and negative wire but none of them work. Get locksmith come and re-program the key or even trying to by pass the immobilizer. However locksmith can't make it as they claim something to do with the "ignition ring". So I'm down to either ignition cylinder with immobilizer antenna or the ignition switch problem.This propblem is often caused by a defective reader coil in the ignition switch.
