Thanks Iska and David! Will try to scout for that tyre, not sure where has it.

currently using toyo teo plus...very quiet lorrr

I am using Michelin XM2s 175/70R13 (Front) and 165/65R13 (Rear). Expensive compared to others but I like the longevity and quietness. Sucks in handling though.

Hello guys,

My batt is dead so i replaced with a new one.
The prob is i couldnt start the car.
Tdc sensor has been cleaned thoroughly.
One thing different i noticed was that the led light which is located between the ignition key barrel and the coin slot, lights on (constant, not blinking) when i turn on the ignition. The car wont start after the crank.

Some1 said i need to reset the battery. How do i do that?
Is there any possibility that the fuel pump is dead - this car mileage is 110k. How do i check it.

Please help, the car is stucked @ sec14 pj.

Battery can't be reset. Stay away from those smart ass that teaches nonsense.

Please describe how the car can't be started?

Can you upload video? U still in 14 now or what?

I don't remember there's an LED between the key and coin slots. Take a picture of that for us as well. Wish I can be your assistance, but wifey is not around and I'm with my 2 kids unable to get out.

Same situation like when the tdc is dirty. The systems lights all normal. No check engine. Nothing unusuall. Crank the car, it just wont start.... The batt is good, the robotic is good, i could shift to gear 1, R, and N while on batt.

The pic, notice the led bulb between the key barrell and he coin slot / ticket slot.

yes the car is still in sec14 pj near jaya but me at home kdsara.

That light has nothing to do with the car unless your car has modified with aftermarket security system. Original security LED is located at the centre console. This, as you told could be the aftermarket security system need a reset. I'm not too sure whether this work for you, but I previously had the same experience after battery changed the alarm module need to reset. Try to turn your key to on/then back to off 3 times without starting the car. Then rest 30 seconds and restart it. Hopefully this work for you.

I smsed you my contact

The immobillizer is original proton. The led has been there since the beginning... Ill try your way of reset and report back

Ok. Then may not be the way I said as those are for after market alarm module. For Plotong original, you'll need to press the trigger button at the centre console most left hand side got 1 button with a dot in the middle.

Oh yaa that button. The one used to reset alarm by switching on the ignition and then press that button - the alarm will go quiet after that.

Or is there ne other way to use that button that im not aware of?

Supposed to be long press the button before switching the key. Regardless, you gotta try every single thing before you go spend cash on repairing something broken that you don't even know what it is.

I bet is the immo
Check if your fuel pump is buzzing. Immo disable it

Dont know how the fuel pump buzzing sounds like. Is there a definite way to disable the immo besides using the key fob transmitter. Both the main and spare oready kaput - sticky button and crazy electronics when battery is replaced (coin batt).

the fuel pump is under the rear seat under a metal circle cap. you can either listen to it or use a meter to measure the voltage.

the immo key inside got a small chip. fully protected one. so just bring the keyfob, even if its damaged near the center console.

After further conversation with ichord, believe the problem is the immobilizer. But I do not know how to disable it, perhaps may be pull the immobilizer fuse from the right side of the dashboard?

This sounds like new gen car immo key fob. When the bat is dead, need to use physical key to unlock the door and placed the key fob near the push start button before starts the car.

Does this work with my 15yo model savvy. Kinda funny if savvy have that tech.

Btw the car is still stuck @ ss14 pj. Im gonna pay a visit after 2pm. The new batt is getting weaker.

My last resort is to tow it back to reliable garage.

Sorry weren't able to be much help from my side. Any update?

do try to get back the original keyfob. you can also remake the keys at proton.
you will need the metal key number tag attached with the 2 keys when you first receive the car.

updates:

i just sold the car on wilayah day. being the original owner, i couldnt believe the car just died like that because i took care of it since the beginning. the new owner called for help so i help.

for an 8yo used savvy, im confident this car was tip top. from this forum and others, i learned alot about preventative maintenance and this car never did once died on me while in traffic because of what i learned from ppl like you guys here.

for die hard savvys, i know youve been through the rear wheel bearing recall, the jerking with the tdc, the leaks of ps switch, the zero rpm of the speed sensor, the leak of clutch pump, the antics of the robotic, and others.

so cut the story short, on the afternoon visit, the new owner finally told me that it was his mistake that the car didnt start. he told me that he replaced the key fob coin battery with fresh ones and he misplaced the security chip (that little piece of plastic - the pic). he thought it was nothing. the best part was that he also misplaced the security chip for the spare key.

actually i was confident that i could solve the prob after fireball and davidke20 talked about immo but i was totally frustrated after i checkout both keys.

the mechanic who change the car batt did came before me said the same thing. no security chip, no start. kapish. so whats left with him (the owner) only the steel and plastic tag with numbers for him to ask proton for replacement key with security chip.

lesson learned - small things do matters, and they complete everything for a bigger purpose.

W O W! You never mentioned you no longer own the car anymore. And I almost barj myself all the way out to rescue your CUSTOMER. And by the way, my name spell as D A V I D, and my nickname is davidke20. The best part was, of the long whatsapp conversation you can forget to tell me you don't own the car anymore.

You could have just told me so, and I give you the god damn key maker that can recode the freakin immobilizer at the god damn ECU at the same time remake 2 transponder chip that works with the new code at a fraction cost from Plotong.

God damn it I felt like got taken for a ride now
