Hi Everyone, im new here so bare with me.
I have a 2004 grand vitara 2 litre petrol, 5 door. (well its my dads and i borrow it from time to time)
I have some how tripped the immobiliser and have got the car stuck at my friends house.
i have done the usual phoning round, but everyone has the same reply, drop it in and we will have a look.
is there any way i can get the car moving because it is really stressing my dad out and hes in his late eighties.
will i just have to bite the bullet and get someone to recover it.
any help would be very very much appreciated.

ps  it shows no fault codes.

I think we need more information regarding the type of system and what is and what isn't working i.e doors open on the remote (or no remote). The engine is turning over but not firing etc.

From my experience, it's usually the remote's batteries are low.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the swift reply neilio
it is the factory fitted alarm and immobiliser,
it has a mitsubishi ECU (well thats what it says on the casing)
changed batteries in remote for new
central locking working fine
engine is turning over but not firing
padlock light on dash is constantly flashing orange with ignition on
i drove the car in the morning, switched it off, went back to it 2 hours later and this is the result.
spoke too a couple of auto electricians and was told that these frequently do this if you jump start them (this hasn't ever been jump started) both say that the immobiliser needs resetting with a Tech 2 system, BUT il have to trailer the car to them and once they have plugged in to the system they can let me know how much it will cost to put right.
i seem to remember there was some sort of bypass could be done on the diesel versions, but i could be wrong.
thanks very much for your time.

I see. I would say if the remote and the system need synchronising, would it not say how to do it in the car's manual?

I don't know for a Vitara, but for my wife's Mercedes there is sequence of things to do with the car. Such sit inside, close all doors, put ignition on, wait a duration and press the remote switch - that sort of thing.

I would be very surprised that only a garage can do it, with so called magic software.

Sorry, I couldn't any more help.

I hope you sort it out soon.

yes i thought the same thing,
i just can't understand that if the immobiliser kicks in, thats it, it has to go in the garage, doesn't make any sense.
anyway thanks for your time, i will call in at our suzuki agent and just ask if i am missing something.
thanks again
