Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Key transponder (remote key) not programmed or corrupted
  • Faulty key transponder or dead key battery
  • Antenna/coiled reader (immobiliser reader) fault or wiring problem
  • Body control / immobiliser module software or hardware fault
  • CAN or LIN communication fault between modules
  • Intermittent power/ground to immobiliser/reader

Symptoms

  • Engine will not start or cranks but does not run
  • Immobiliser / key warning lamp illuminated or flashing
  • Remote locking/unlocking or keyless entry functions not working
  • Intermittent recognition of key; starts sometimes, fails other times
  • Diagnostic tool shows key ID mismatch or unrecognised key entries

What to check

  • Scan vehicle with a dealer-level diagnostic tool; read all B and U codes and immobiliser status
  • Check the key battery voltage and replace if low
  • Try a known-good/spare programmed key to see if problem follows the key
  • Inspect antenna/reader connectors and wiring for damage and secure connections
  • Verify module power and ground voltages at the immobiliser/body control module
  • Check for recent module programming or software updates and relevant TSBs

Signal parameters

  • Key transponder ID reported by immobiliser (key ID register / list)
  • Antenna/reader coil signal strength or waveform when key presented
  • Immobiliser module supply voltage and ground status
  • CAN/LIN messages between immobiliser, body control module, and engine ECU (message presence and error counters)
  • Number of failed authentication attempts and timestamp

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Read and record all DTCs from immobiliser, body control module and engine ECU. Note freeze frame/occurrence data.
  2. Verify key battery voltage and replace battery if below specification. Re-test with the same key.
  3. Attempt to start using a confirmed-good programmed spare key. If spare works, suspect the original key.
  4. Use diagnostic tool to read the stored key IDs. Confirm whether ID 22 is present, listed as unprogrammed, or flagged as invalid.
  5. Inspect antenna/reader wiring and connectors (ignition barrel, steering column, mirror, or roof module depending on vehicle). Repair any damage and clear connector corrosion.
  6. Use scope or diagnostic tool to monitor the RF/coil waveform while presenting the key; look for absent or noisy waveform.
  7. Check immobiliser/module power and ground circuits for proper voltages and continuity to chassis ground.
  8. If wiring and keys are OK, attempt key re-learn/ reprogramming per manufacturer procedure. Follow security steps and tool prompts.
  9. If reprogramming fails or key ID table is corrupt, update module software/firmware per latest service information or perform module replacement if directed by manufacturer guidance.
  10. Clear codes, retest multiple start cycles and verify remote/key functions. Document findings and any module updates.

Likely causes

  • Key battery low or key electronics failed
  • Key was not correctly programmed after replacement
  • Damaged or disconnected antenna coil at ignition barrel or mirror module
  • Faulty immobiliser/body control module or corrupted key table
  • Wiring chafe, short to ground, or poor connector at immobiliser unit
  • Module software mismatch or known software bug

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Stored when the immobiliser/body module detects that key identifier 22 is missing, unreadable, not programmed, or does not pass authentication during a key read attempt.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
