Immobilizer Issue After Attempted Car Theft- Please Help?!
Hello all,
Having really baffling issues with my MDX after someone tried to steal it recently, & I'm hoping you can help. I did already search & read related threads , but couldn't find something close enough, so any insight would be just appreciated beyond compare.!!!
Any Ideas?!! Anyone have similar experience? ANYTHING in the way of ideas/insight is TREMENDIOUSLY Appreciated!! THANK YOU in advance!! |
instead of throwing parts at it; i would def. hook up a Honda Diagnostic System tester, or HDS.
it'll tell you if its the immobilizer or not, that way, you're not constantly throwing parts at it not knowing whats wrong with it. cuz that's what the locksmith did. "hey, we'll replace this piece" ERROR! "oops, i guess its not that...and I am baffled" |
Lol. Yes... that is a very solid point- although I wasn't aware of this HDS. Thank you for the response.
...The only thing about that is it seems like there's really no reason for anything aside from something right in that main ignition area in the car to be a problem. There was nothing wrong with the car before the attempted theft, & I don't see why anyone would have messed w/ the engine etc. |
As an update- I spoke with the locksmith, & he thinks he might be able to fix the issue (IF it is indeed the immobilizer) by swapping it with another one & soldering in the chip from mine. Idk if that would actually work or not, but it seems logical...
