immobliser won't deactivate if left for 4 days

Postby camper95 » Fri Dec 01, 2017 5:41 pm

The PAT immobliser on my 1995 diesel trasnsit works fine once the van has been started, but not if left standing for about 4 days or more. The fault code produced is 14, which I think is for a partial code detected. To start the van I have to unscrew the immobilser ring and hold it level with the top of the key where the chip is. The van will the start normally day to day until left for a few days. The system has been modified so the started is activated by a button, and even when it won't start the engine turns over well, so the battery is not the problem. A key person has confirmed a good signal from the keys, but not from the immobilser ring. Anyone come accross this ever, none of the mechanics or electricians who've looked at it so far have.

Thanks for replying Minor Mat. I've been looking for an immobliser ring but not been able to find one that matches the part/ serial nos that exactly match mine (PATS XCVR, 95VG-15607-AB, UCM67840),but still trying.
After the immobliser light has been quick flashing for a minute to indicate things aren't working, it slow flashes (in my case) one flash then three flashes (twice). This info and what the codes mean found online.

Definately sounds like that PATS ring

95VG-15607-AB is the important bit. Any suffix starting A shouls be ok
