DrDave Posted yesterday at 06:12 PM Posted yesterday at 06:12 PM Hello playmates I'm a new Alphard owner and it's been a joy... But the last couple of days it's been sulky about starting after a brief stop The engine simply won't turn over But left alone for a while, it then decided it could start after all Happened more than once On one occasion, I got on the dashboard a red engine light with a black key symbol on it, which might be a clue Any advice greatly appreciated bw D

BigNev Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Hi there! I don't know how the immobiliser reader works on your particular model, but on one car I've had the chip move within the key housing, not at all far, but far enough so the ring in the steering cowl wouldn't see it. I suggest this as you say you've seen the immobiliser key symbol come up. Also - is there much play in the ignition barrel? Just a thought into the mix, if it's a bit loose, could the key be a tiny bit further out than it should be, which will mean the reader ring can't see it? It's a very fine area that they read!
