Imobiliser problems

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Imobiliser problems

Post by bkf_uk » Mon Oct 27, 2008 5:33 pm

Ok my 440 t has a TOAD Cat1 alarm and imobiliser fitted, but it's faulty (or appears to be to me any way!).

Had this happen a couple of times now, i try to start the car but the starter wont turn! (just like the inhibtor switch if i left it in gear) leave the car to "arm" the imobilser and try to start and again fails (good it's meant to do that!) i then "disarm" the imobiliser and Bobs your uncle away it goes first time!

Im guessing the start inhibitor part of the toad is faulty but wouldnt mind some input from you guys!

Regards
Bryan
