If they have lost the EKA code they can be done manually. If they have lost the ECM security link to BECM they can't, and need diagnostics or a Syncmate for that vehicle type to reset it. Batteries should only be disconnected following the instructions in RAVE.

hi wammy yes they have lost the security link . cheers for your imput mozz

For what it's worth, my 96 locked out a couple of times when putting a battery on it, both times just disconnecting the battery again for a few minutes and carefully reconnecting it got me out of it, never did have to use the EKA code The handshake on the diesel is very simple unlike the V8

thanxs wammy and datatek ,but still need definitive answers or suggestions /reccommendations as to what to do next..kind regards MOZZ

You need someone with the bits of kit you listed, my local has an Autologic which did the same re-sync for mine.

2nd stage lockout is when the immobiliser and the eka lockout status are both showing alarmed and locked out at the same time, with this locked out nothing can be done with the Key in the door and the Becm wont talk to a diagnostic system through the Obd port untill it has been reset via access to the Cpu on the locic board.

Will you be able to reset it with a nanacom or do you have to have the fullmate

CPU direct access can only be done with Faultmate with the SM035 module, even Testbook does not have that ability as far as I'm aware
