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.

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.

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

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?

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).

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.

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.

Im sorry for not telling that from the beginning. truely am. never my intention to play you or others along or any other negative manipulation for the benefit of me. just tell me how i could make it up to you.

it is just me trying to be responsible about the car i sold. it hasnt been a month yet and i still feel the car is still mine. and i personally feel that i need to do something about this prob with the new owner because hes not that very technical. he personally asked me to help him. besides the problem (things happened) was seeming impossible to happen - ive never face that immo prob before.

and david (forgive me the prev spelling) my mind prolly was flying somewhere thinking of kevin instead of you. sorry about that too. do accept my sincerest apology. can i buy you a coffee sometimes?
