zeeshan Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Few week before, I brought P38-range rover 4.6 HSE-2000 model with only one key with non working remote and no EKA code. During the first week, it worked fine but then the RR octionally super-locks itself or may be getting in "i am stolen" mode with the alarm LED flashing at the dashboard. when tried to unlock with the key, only the driver door unlocks and "Engine Disabled - use Remote" is shown at the message centre when tried to start the engine. Randomly rotating the key to lock/unlock positions disarms the alarm system and flashing LED stops. But it takes some time extending from minutes to hours and even a day once. Considering it may be due to radion interference, I have disconnected RF receiver and checked all the wiring and fuses which all look good. Also tried the generic EKA but all in vain. Can anybody suggest some permanent solution without involving any specilized equipnment or someway to permanently disabling the alarm system.

Escape Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 No easy solution, the anti-theft in general and immobiliser specifically are quite resistant to tampering on the P38a. With a rovacom or similar diagnostic you can disable the passive immobilisation, so you can always start it with just the key. The symptoms you are describing seem te point to a failing door latch/lock. The latch incorporates microswitches that control the central locking. Get it fixed now (or better yet, replace it yourselve!), if it really fails you will end up stranded, even with the key! Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
