Help needed desparately!!
My daughter has a 2003 Nissan Almera 1.5S petrol RHD. It stalled and will not start. It turns over as usual. When the ignition is turned on the immobiliser lamp blinks 6 times and the stays lit.
The radiator cooling fan comes on when the lamp is lit.
I cannot read any errors because my EasyOBD II reader says
Vehicle Data Bus OK
No Vehicle Response/Connection or Power
The clue may be in the fact that the faults cannot be read because the K-line is held low. With the ignition on, between pin7 (K-line) and pin 5 (signal ground ) on the diagnostic socket I have 2.7V not 12V
I thought that perhaps the immobiliser may have been damaged and a firm said to send it to them for repair. I have it off the car. Before posting it off I thought I would run EasyOBD again. Without the immobiliser, the lamp still flashes 6 times and then stays on, and the fans still run until I disconnect the cables.
Perhaps it isn’t the immobiliser or maybe the feed to it is down.
The central locking works fine so I presume the key is OK. If it is the key why would the fans run?
I hope someone can suggest something
