IMMOBILISER DIAGNOSTICS
When the problem is more than the physical key
Immobiliser and security faults can involve the key, transponder, antenna, body module, immobiliser data or another vehicle system. Diagnosis is used to avoid guessing at parts.
Programming Faults
If replacement-key programming does not complete as expected, the vehicle and security system can be checked for underlying faults.

FAQ
Common questions
Useful information before you contact us.
What does “key not recognised” mean?+
It can indicate a fault with the key transponder, programming, antenna, immobiliser data or another related vehicle system. Diagnosis is needed before the cause can be confirmed.
Can you diagnose an immobiliser warning or no-start problem?+
Supported key-security faults can be assessed, but not every no-start condition is caused by the immobiliser. General vehicle faults may need separate diagnosis.
Do you need proof of ownership?+
Yes. Proof of ownership or lawful authority is required before security-related vehicle work.
Does SERMI mean every vehicle is supported?+
No. SERMI does not guarantee compatibility or access for every vehicle or procedure. Eligibility depends on the vehicle, manufacturer process and the specific work required.
