Free Ways to Fix & Reset Forward Collision Warning System (FCW) Pre-Collision System Light Flashing kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnmHq6V7kdefYaw.html

The hazard warning lights only flash when the theft deterrent system is armed and the engine will not start. To restore the system ,turn the ignition key to the lock position then to the on position,now press the lock or unlock door button on the driver's door,then turn on the ignition, the car should start.

My 2011 Prius started beeping, last night, about every minute. No symbol on the dash. I can start and drive fine. Today I took the car to the mechanic to find out was horror-expensive thing was going to need replacing but there was no more beeping. I looked pretty stupid bothering him for nothing. Went home the car started beeping again and NOW I have the immobilizer symbol flashing. I get my second key fob but that doesn't solve the problem. The manual does not tell you HOW to fix it!!! I will go try the door lock trick ... thanks for the video.

@macforme The beeping in your 2011 Prius accompanied by the flashing immobilizer symbol can be frustrating, especially since it's intermittent. The immobilizer system is designed to prevent the car from being started without the correct key. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue: Check the Key Fob Battery: The most common cause of immobilizer issues is a weak or dead key fob battery. Replace the battery in both key fobs and see if the problem persists. Reprogram the Key Fob: Sometimes the key fob may need to be reprogrammed to sync properly with the car's immobilizer system. This can often be done by following specific procedures found in the vehicle's manual or by visiting a dealership. Check for Interference: Other electronic devices or key fobs (such as those from other vehicles) can sometimes cause interference with the immobilizer system. Make sure there are no other devices nearby that could be causing the issue. Inspect the Immobilizer System: There could be an issue with the immobilizer antenna or the wiring. A professional mechanic or dealership can run a diagnostic to check for faults in the system. Reset the System: In some cases, disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes can reset the electronic systems and resolve minor glitches. Be sure to consult your vehicle’s manual for the correct procedure and potential consequences (like losing radio presets or needing to re-enter security codes). Check for Software Updates: Sometimes, a software update from the manufacturer can resolve issues with the immobilizer system. Check with your local Toyota dealership to see if any updates are available for your vehicle. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take your Prius to a Toyota dealership or a specialized automotive locksmith for further diagnosis and repair. They have the tools and expertise to deal with immobilizer problems and can provide a more accurate and efficient solution.

If the mobilizer lock is present can you override it by jump-starting the car?

@kevingoldsmith9822 What To Do With Micro Chipped Keys (most modern immobilizers) 1. Try different key. 2. Turn Ignition on and off 5-6 times. 3. Turn Ignition on for 5 minutes, turn off and retry. 4. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes. 5. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes while disconnected join positive (+) and negative (-) leads together, this will disperse any small electrical charge stored in electronics. 6. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes and reconnect with ignition key in switch on position. What to Do with Remote Key Fobs 1. Check batteries in remote. 2. Press button on remote with batteries removed. 3. Disconnect Battery on car for 5 minutes. 4. Hold button down for a few seconds. 5. Hold both buttons down for a few seconds. 6. If in high area of radio interference (ports, supermarket car parks etc.) move car to new location.

@kevingoldsmith9822 Many people blame immobilizers, when it is a battery fault, buzzing noises, relays clicking, dash lights flickering, starter motors sounding like a machine gun are all normally battery problems. If in doubt it is best to try jump starting or swap battery for a known good one.

@sinojvarghese2738 NATS prevents the car from starting if it doesn't recognize the key or if there is an issue with the immobilizer system. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Check the Key 👉Use the Primary Key: Ensure you're using the main key, not a spare or unprogrammed one. 👉Check for Damage: Inspect the key for physical damage or wear. A damaged key might not be recognized. 👉Try Another Key: If you have a spare, try using it to start the car. 2. Reset the Immobilizer 👉Disconnect the Battery Again: 👉Turn Off the Engine: Make sure the vehicle is off. 👉Disconnect the Battery: Remove the negative terminal and leave it disconnected for 15-30 minutes. 👉Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative terminal and ensure it's secure. 👉Attempt to Start the Car: Sometimes a full reset can help clear any issues with the immobilizer system. 3. Check for Immobilizer Issues 👉 Observe the NATS Symbol: If the NATS symbol is flashing, it indicates a problem with the immobilizer. Leave the Key in the On Position: 👉Insert the Key: Turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. 👉Wait for 5-10 Minutes: This can help the system to recognize the key. 👉Try Starting the Car Again: After waiting, turn the key to the start position. 4. Inspect Key Fob and Battery 👉Check the Key Fob: If your car uses a key fob, ensure the battery inside it is not dead. Replace it if necessary. 👉Try Reprogramming: Consult your owner's manual for steps to reprogram the key fob, or seek assistance from a Nissan dealer. 5. Check Fuses and Relays 👉 Locate the Fuse Box: Check the fuses related to the immobilizer, ignition, and ECU. 👉 Inspect for Blown Fuses: Replace any that are blown. 👉 Check Relays: Make sure the relays for the immobilizer system are functioning correctly. 6. Consult the Owner’s Manual 👉 Look for NATS Information: Your manual might have specific instructions for dealing with immobilizer issues. 7. Visit a Nissan Dealer 👉 Professional Diagnosis: A Nissan dealer can perform a more in-depth diagnostic with specialized equipment. 👉 Reprogram Keys: They can reprogram or replace the keys if needed. 8. Consider Immobilizer Bypass 👉 Temporary Bypass: In some cases, a temporary bypass of the immobilizer can be done by a professional, allowing you to start the car and then get it fixed properly. Possible Causes for the Issue 👉 Battery Disconnect: Disconnecting the battery might have caused the immobilizer system to lose its settings or recognition of the key. 👉 Faulty Immobilizer System: There could be an issue with the immobilizer itself, such as a faulty sensor or wiring issue. 👉 ECU Reset Needed: The vehicle’s ECU might need a reset or reprogramming to recognize the key again. If none of these steps work, consulting with a Nissan dealership or an experienced mechanic specializing in Nissan vehicles will be the best course of action. They can provide more specialized diagnostics and solutions. 🙏 Hope it is helpful for you.
