Hi, 

I have just finished do a fair amount of work on our cmax and went to start it and it wont start no click from the starter ( other electrics work) .

The immobiliser light just flashes fast when the key is in position 2.
Code on immobiliser is 16
this is a list of what work I carried  out that could have effected it.
(engine was removed)
new battery
new dmf and clutch kit
cambelt
drive belt.
I have tried reading the car on my laptop and it won't connect!                  I have checked all fuses In The engine bay, tried unplugging c90, checked the starter 150amp fuse 
Car run perfect before hand.
I am completely stumped with what could cause this. 

Hope someone can help

Thanks

Jack

    I got the car running tonight!!! so I thought even tho  I haven't had a reply I would still post what I did. 

    Disconnected the battery and c90 (engine and pcm plug) for 5 minutes. 
    Then connect both up.
    Lock and unlock the car via the door 4 or 5 times. 
    Then get in the car shut the door and put can in key program mode ( key in ignition from of to position 2  4 or 5 times quickly till bleep is heard) 
    Then she started! 
    Must have been because the battery was of for a couple of weeks and maybe the car thought it was trying to be stolen. 

    Anyway hope this helps someone.

    perhaps you might need to change battery in key fob if you have done so I know when battery goes flat it fob can throw up lot of problems
