immobilizer false alarm today

Post by deian »

Are there any reasons or things i should know about that would cause my immobilizer not to disarm when i put the key in the ignition.

I put the key in as normal, and as usual I wait for the glow plugs to go off, but they little orange key light in the revcounter didn't go off and it started beeping!! I pulled the key out, and tried again and it was fine? very weird, anyone else come across this before, any reasons why?

Thanks people
