IS300H Security / Immobilizer Reset


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, 

I seem to have somehow engaged the security/immobilizer or anti theft system on my 2014 IS300H.

I had the back wheel off to inspect a stone caught in the break disk and I needed to spin the back wheel to check if the noise was gone so I turned the car on and put it into neutral and took the foot break off.

The keys were inside the car and driver and passenger doors open and I could hear the car making beeping noises like it does when the car door is open and keys inside. I was busy inspecting the wheel so I didnt do anything about the beeping noise or keys being inside the car and the noise eventually stopped. I suspect this is what caused the car to go intoi shutdown mode but unsure.

I refitted the wheel out the car back into Park and foot break on and closed the doors (not locking them with the key fob) and after a while got back into the car to try start it and the car wouldn't start.

The key fob doesnt open or close the doors remotely either.

I got the 2nd key fob and tried that and the car screen said the key wasnt not recognized so I changed the Battery in the key fob and placed the key up to the start button while pressing the start button to try sync the key fob again and start the car but it didnt work.

I have tried a number of times with 2 different key fobs to start the cat but to no avail.

When I get into the car and press the start button with the break pedal pressed down the car dash says "depress break pedal and press start button to start ignition” (or something to that effect) but when I try this nothing happens and the security / immobilizer symbols flashes on and off. 

Any suggestions on how to reset this please?

You might need someone with techstream to reset the immobiliser code and recode the keys to the ecu.

 

I have techstream but you probably don't live nearby in Yorkshire.

Try disconnecting the aux battery and leave for a good 10 mins, this may reset your system.

Is that the Battery in the boot?

if you leave the car turned on and in neutral you will get the bleeping sound

as it will be warning you your Battery isnt charging and going flat

this happened to me many years ago in my ct it may of only been 15 minutes

but it was enough for the car to tell me to shut down and restart the hybrid system.

try hooking up another 12v Battery to the Battery in the boot or to the tag under the bonnet

in the fuse box

Yeah that was it. Quick charge in the Battery and it fired straight up!

Cheers!
