bladeage Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi all, I had a message pop up on the car a few times " alarm service required", this usually came on after the car immobilised itself however, it immobilised itself last week and the immobiliser would not turn off this time, I tried the usual disconnect of the battery for an hour or so etc but no joy. I deduced the "alarm service" message was probably the alarm battery back up under the wheel arch so I ordered one and fitted it today......the alarm now sounds off brilliantly and the "alarm service" message has disappeared so the new battery back up sounder has worked a treat! The problem I am having now is that the immobiliser will not turn off and I am unable to start the car, everything including the alarm is working fine except for the immobiliser????? I have read that sometimes the car needs plugging into a scanner to reset the alarm system? can these scanners be brought off flee bay etc? any ideas would be very gratefully accepted as I am going to be stuck for work on monday morning if I cant get it started :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
