I changed my car battery in a Fiat Punto and now the car refuses to start. It appears the immoboliser has activated

An immobiliser is generally a passive anti theft system (PATS) which uses an ignition key that has a coded transponder embedded in it. It is activated by being in close proximity to an antenna which is near or around the ignition steering lock. If the code in the key matches the code in the module and everything is working correctly the engine management switches on - simply put, the immobiliser engages or activates when the key is removed and should deactivate when the key is inserted.

It is possible the system developed amnesia and forgot the code when the battery was disconnected or maybe something broke. I really don't know much about them.
A trick that sometimes works - try disconnecting the battery overnight and in the morning open the car, put the key in the ignition and switch on and then go and connect the battery.

If that doesn'y work you will need the services of an auto locksmith or the dealer.

Vw golf mk5 immobilizer problem in the dash immobiliser active

the immobilizer will only disable its self if the right key is used to try and start the car (EG: only the registered car key is able to turn on the car and run it otherwise the immobilizer triggers after a few or more failed tries to start the car)

My es300 is not starting - it appears to be immobiliser problem - i have tried both the keys - it has a 1 month old battery and all inside electricals are working ok

your key transponder may be faulty, you would need to take the keys to a dealer and see if they can read the codes from them, if not, the car wont see them either.

If a yellow key symbol is flashing on your dash then this is another indicator of the key failing. If the plip cannot unlock the car either and only the key blade will do it, then the immobiliser may need re-coded to your keys after the battery replacement, or if it has worked since then, and the stopped recently, I would suspect the transponder chip in the key.

Imobiliser problem

If im not mistaken,your car should have an alarm reset/override.Below the steering column,on the dash should be a slot where you put your remote transmitter to deactivate the alarm.If that works,you then need to have your remote checked and coded by a vw dealer.Good luck.

Immobiliser ?????? so i have been told

If, when you switch the ignition on, you get a dash light on, the symbol is a car with a key overlaid, you have somehow activated the immobilser You could try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, this may reset the immobiliser, If this does not work you will have to contact a Hyundai dealer to get the immobiliser unlock code.
