SOURCE: I need the key to start engine or by-pass the immobilizer.

There is a chip in the key on the newer cars. The dealer should be able to send your information to Hyundai and order a new key. Pricey. Check with another dealer.

SOURCE: immobilizer

If there is a blinking car icon with an "X" over it. This icon means the Immobilizer has been activated and hence won't allow the car to start. It could be due to a bad SCU, Start Control Unit. The SCU is actually the ignition switch on these cars.
Most of the time it's triggered by the anti-theft system..You can try this trick i learned that the dealers won't tell you...try locking and unlocking of the doors five times with the remote to reset the immobilizer and see if this helps.
Good luck..i hope this helps...please take a minute to rate me a fixya.

try the spare key if the problem still persist .
then you have to diagnose the immo system by scan tool to know which DTC is recorded

2010 Holden Captiva won't start

Yes, the security alarm and immobilizer need resetting. The problem is, because it is a Holden there isn't much on Google because I am in Canada. This link may work better for you than me. The chip in the key, and the transponder need to be recognized by the ECM and Security System Module.

How to reset immobilizer without key. My door locks were changed by previous owner and it works great in ignition but not door locks. Can I replace dead battery and the immobilizer relay?

The door locks are electronically operated by the key fob communicating to the ECM or BCM. The Immobilizer works by the transponder in the key communicating to the receiver near the ignition lock, and communicating to the ECM to allow all the items needed to start the vehicle.

It sounds like you just need an auto-electrician or the dealership to reprogram everything.

Lost keys. Can I swap steering column or ignition switch from another and will I be able to start it?

yes you can swap but will it start --probably not as the immobilizer set up will be different
talk with a locksmith as they may be able to get the key code and cut you new immobilizer keys after which you have to have reprogrammed to the cars immobilizer

The immobilizer light on my dash is flashing, and the vehicle will not start, can hear the fuel pump running when I turn the key, but no crank.

Most likely your key has failed. You should find and try your spare key if you still have it. If not, then you will require someone with a tool to scan immobilizer codes and verify if there is a fault in the immo system or if it simply is saying INVALID KEY. If its faulted, it will require repairs. If its invalid key, you can use your backup key, or have a new key programmed by a mechanic or locksmith with key programming tools

01 nissan maxima need to reset immobilizer has codes 1610 and 1612

it is the dealer ship only to do.If you try to start the car without the proper key up to 5 times, Immobilizer will go into a lockout mode and the only way to get it working again, is to reprogram the ecu with Consult II.
Believe me. It happened to me before. I had to tow the car to the dealer to get it reprogrammed. I think they charged like an hour of

STARTS BUT SHUTS OFF IN SECONDS? LOST THE IGNITION KEY AND BROKE THE STEERING LOCK TO START THE ENGINE. 1999 CHEVY BLAZER.

When the ignition switch is turned on, the immobilizer control module sends a challenge signal through the antenna around the ignition switch to the transponder chip in the ignition key. The transponder key responds with an encrypted key code. The immobilizer module then decodes the key code and compares it to the list of registered keys. When the engine is started, the ECM sends a request to the immobilizer module over the data bus to verify the key is correct. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle with an invalid ignition key, the immobilizer module sends a message over the data bus to the instrument cluster to flash the anti-theft indicator lamp. If the ECM does not receive a "valid key" message from the immobilizer module within 2 seconds of engine start up, the ECM will disable the fuel injectors to kill the engine. You'll need to get a new key and get it registered in the immobilizer control module. You'll need a scan tool, the VIN number, the date manufactured and a factory-assigned PIN number.
