Guys,
My truck has been parked for a couple of weeks now, yesterday I got an email from the tracker saying it had lost power. Upon checking the starter battery is flat (not the tracker battery), so flat in fact the remote for the door locks would not work.
I remember reading about problems with the immobilizer not allowing the engine to start after the battery has been charged in cases like this, but even using the search button I still cannot find the tread I’m thinking of.
Can anybody tell me,
A/ If the immobilizer will need to be reset after recharging the battery?
B/ If required, how to reset the immobilizer?
I also remember there are 2 types of alarm / immobilizer, my truck is a 1997 HDJ80 so I’m guessing it’s the later model.
