Stevec0268 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Morning all. Had my GV off the road for a couple of months while I sort some problems. Yesterday I changed the filter and fluid in the gearbox. Put the battery back on this morning and as soon as I connect it the alarm keeps going off! Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this?

0 bignev Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Only a guess but have you put the key in the ignition and let it recognise it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 andyb2000 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hm, that's unusual as I don't think I've seen/heard of that one before. When you stuck key in ignition did you go all the way to full start of engine? All I can think of is that there has been no power to the ECU/BCM or aux systems for so long that they've lost their retained info (all presets on radio gone, etc). Normally as bignev says key in should do that but I do know that it sometimes takes a full start for a few minutes. That is if it will start the car? (If no start then it's immobilising too, which is bad news as the pairing between key and ignition/BCM has been lost and will need re-pairing).

0 Stevec0268 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi Andy, Thanks for that, I will give it a try later. Put the key in and turned it to on position but didn't try to start the car. Hopefully that will sort it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
