The auto uses/sends info to the EDC if it's the ZF4HP22e
You could always fit a non secure EDC that doesn't require a sync code to start.

Is this the immobiliser function on the EDC?

I just hate electronics when they go wrong and have a manual system means its emminently "fixable" when your in the middle of no where

Yep it's the immobiliser function. Engine ECU's are surprisingly robust.
If you search, I believe that some bright spark has posted a mod to bypass the immobiliser function. Long time ago though, I should have kept the details.
In general I agree about mechanical stuff being easier to fix. I want a DS21

As you would with a manual injector pump. A separate alarm could be fitted in either case operating the stop valve on the FIP.

No one with a Hawkeye / nanocom / testbook etc up near you to read the codes?

Just to see if it is the immobiliser??

There was such a post a long time ago, one of the first things I did as a mod was remove it

Sorry
