Answer
The alarm does not have anything to do with the "immobilizer" system. They are separate systems and not connected. I would recommend checking your battery. Thanks, and please Accept if I have helped. Jacob.

Answer
Sometimes your key can get out of alignment with your immobilizer, or EWS. This has to be re-aligned at the dealer. If you have another key try it. Also try moving the shifter into gear and back to park.

are you there
Accepted Answer
Sorry, boys on the net. No I meant that if you had an automatic transmission. Did you try another key? And turn the headlights on to see how bright they are. -Just to double check the battery.
