I was on a job in the city and returned to the car to find that it wouldn't start . With foot on the brakes and pressing the start button all the warning lights were on on the dash but it wouldn't start . The steering column lock motor activated but that was it . I checked the crank batt and it seemed ok so I bridged the aux batt across it but still no go . I tried disconnecting the crank batt thinking that this might reset the computer but no go .
I have the extra Tojo cover so called them but the problem was that it was NYE and a lot of Sydney streets were blocked off . I told them to go via Clarence St which was open but the serviceman gave up and declared it impossible . This was after waiting hours mind you and me actually giving him instructions on the phone for how to get there to avoid the road blocks .
Anyway I was about to give up and try and get home by some alternate means so I locked it up and started to walk away when I thought that I'd give it another go . I unlocked it and yes it started !
This then makes me think that it was an imobiliser issue which was stopping it from starting . The fact that I locked and unlocked it must've disabled the imobiliser . Something that I didn't think to do earlier on .
Ok a few questions for the learned ones :
Is there a reset sequence ? I tried holding the transponder next to the start switch , this didn't work . I think the 200 series reset is to press the start button 5 times , what about the 150 D4D ?
If this had've happened the day before we'd have been up xxxx creek as we were camped down on the Turon where there was no phone coverage and Tojo Roadside Assistance will only come if it's 2wd accessible !
Does anyone know what the start button led colours/flash sequence means ? The led in the start button flashed green and sometimes went orange .
Cheers
