Frequently asked questions
My car immobilizer light is flashing and car won't start — what do I do?
A flashing immobilizer/security light means the ECU is not recognizing your key transponder. This often happens after replacing the car battery (the ECU loses immobilizer sync) or if the key transponder chip is damaged. First, try the spare key — if it starts, your primary key transponder has failed. Metre Per Second can program new keys and reset immobilizer systems for all major car brands.
