meekstaaa Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Sounds like the pats doesn't recognise the key, if you don't have the main red master key your a bit fcuked. Edited July 6, 2007 by meekstaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_van_man Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 yup means new ecu and chips or reprogram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 or unplug it down in the drivers foot well, looks like a ecu, jus remove the smaller connector from the bottom of it and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Sounds like the pats doesn't recognise the key, if you don't have the main red master key your a bit fcuked.Agreed! I had 1 black key that started the car but no red master. I bought a new red key & black key, had them cut to the old key but they had a different code in them so they wouldn't start the car - the red light just started flashing fast! I had the ECU & keys reprogrammed to work with each other.....£30 - works fine now! SY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
