Left the car for a couple of hours, came to unlock and non of the fob buttons work, I'd not had any "keyfob batt low" messages and the battery is less than a year old. Unfortunately there is no telltale on the fob to confirm function.
Opened the passenger door with the blade (why can't you open the drivers door!?) and obviously the alarm goes off. At this point, I wasn't sure exactly where to place the key for the passive action to de-arm the immobiliser and alarm so went home (managed to get a lift!!) for the spare key. This also wouldnt work, but having read the handbook managed to get the car started and home.
the keyfob needs to be placed just below the footwell light in the kick panel, just by your knee. the keyfob must be oriented with the buttons facing the floor and you must be very precise with the location. Rotating to keyfob appeared to assist. Do this while pressing and holding the start/stop button on the dash and it should fire up.
Note, the glovebox cannot be opened until the car is disarmed, so you can't check fuses! I checked fuse 1 and 17 in the glovebox but both are OK.
Diagnostic read gives the following codes;
B112C-87 - interior motion sensor
B1B01-87 key transponder
U201F-31 external receiver - type 31 - FM/PWM failure, no signal
not worried about the motion sensor right now and the car was not superlocked.
the key transponder code is related to pressing the start button when the car cannot see the fob, i did this.
the last code is the issue.
causes - comms to the module have been lost, check the keyless entry module circuit. check and install rf receiver or keyless entry module as required
I have previously had a medium canbus DTC U0010 (canbus failure) which may or may not be related - this DTC is not current.
