Electric immobilizer system was invented by St. Immobilizer or immobilizer is the electronic security device which is fitted into the automobile and it prevents engine from running until and unless correct key get matched. So frustrating when you can’t recreate a problem and the dealership has no answers.Īny input would help, and I’ll update if they find anything.An article from the experts at Express Locksmith – Top Mission Viejo locksmith The tech liaison theorized it might be an A/C relay but I don’t have too much faith in his theories since they didn’t get it right the first two times. The battery may be the culprit, as I had to get a jump for leaving my hazards on for an afternoon, but I am doubting that since there is no dimming or other noticeable differences with the dash. The battery in the key fobs shouldn’t be the issue, as they unlock the car and function properly when the immobilizer unit hasn’t thrown a fit. Has anyone else dealt with a faulty Honda immobilizer unit? Now it has happened again this morning, this time I got it towed straight there so they can see that the immobilizer has it locked down and maybe they can see something that wasn’t apparent last time. Says they scanned the immobilizer unit but came up with nothing. Tow home, get brake code from dealer, drop off at dealer for service, dealer calls back hours later and can’t find anything wrong. Thankfully they didn’t charge me for it.Ībout a year passes and happens to me again last week, stranded in between Austin and San Antonio at a gas station. The keys weren’t the problem, the battery wasn’t the problem, they couldn’t tell me anything was wrong with it. I left it there for them to service, only to have them call me a few hours later and say it started up just fine. Had to go to the dealership to get a dummy key with no fob attached to it (there is a chip in the fob that communicates that the immobilizer unit recognizes (or doesn’t recognize in this case) and a brake code to enter to get the thing started and back to the dealership. The first time it happened I did not realize it was the immobilizer and attempted to jump it, to no avail. The electronics in the dash and the indoor lights turn on like normal, the engine will turn over fully as it tries to start (it will even start for a second before the immobilizer turns the ignition off if I put the key in and turn it fast enough). I have had the anti-theft immobilizer unit activate on me 3 different times now, preventing me from starting the car. Hello all, I am having a very frustrating problem with my 2010 Honda Civic.
