Kind of risky, but good to know it started after couple of tries.

Not sure, but I think the reader is available as a independent unit and it can be 'taught' to acknowledge the existing code.

It will be of great help if you can suggest any mechanics in Bangalore who are experts in Key immobilizers.

Bobby,

Please do not take this to an independent mechanic unless you, or the person who has recommended him, are absolutely sure of the person and of his expertise.

Take it to the HASS; it might be worth the money spent.

PS: Are you at the new campus, if so, lets meet.

Took the car to HAAS (Trident on Kanakpura road) today. For the first time the problem appeared when the technician was checking the car (generally by Murphy’s law the issue never surfaces when you are at the garage). Hooked to the ECU our finding of the Key Immobilizer malfunction was confirmed.

They did the code teaching procedure for both the keys, after couple of attempts with errors finally looks like the keys have learned its lesson. I am told to use the vehicle, if the issue reappears both the keys and the receiver unit need to be replaced (hope the keys won’t forget their lessons). I had heard from my friend who had a similar experience with his Skoda that the costs was around 40 K, but thank god for Elantra it is only 8.5K

Thanks again for all your advices.

Iam having the same problem as well. The car just refuses to start as though someone is cutting the fuel supply. I knew the problem was with the code sensors but havent been able to get it corrected completely.

I think you can confirm your diagnosis by looking at the dash board indicator for Key Immobilizer. In Elantra it is supposed to the glow when you insert the key (only if the chip is detected) and goes off after starting. In my case when it was giving the problem the indicator was not glowing. I am not sure whether this is the case with all makes, which car is giving this problem for you princezahed?

mine is an elantra crdi as well. My brother has a lot of trouble getting it started but thankfully for me it doesnt often happen. as you mentioned the light goes on if the key is detected and only then it starts, otherwise it doesnt.
