How to Deactivate the Lavida Engine Immobilizer System?
2 Answers
First, turn on the vehicle and insert the key, ensuring the car is in the power-on state. Then, wait until the immobilizer light on the dashboard flashes. Observe the dashboard—only when the key chip's ID matches the ID on the engine side can the car be started. Turn off the vehicle's power. The ignition key contains an electronic chip with a fixed ID. Wait for ten minutes, then turn the power back on. At this point, the immobilizer light will flash again. Repeat the above steps three times to deactivate the Lavida's engine immobilizer system.
I've been repairing cars for many years. The Lavida's anti-theft system comes factory-installed and is deactivated by matching the key chip. When the car is locked or the alarm is sounding, insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the start position (don't rush, turn it slowly), and the system will automatically deactivate once the engine starts. Remember to use a properly paired key—a spare key will work too. If it malfunctions, don't force it. First, check the key battery and try replacing it with a new CR2032 coin cell, as it might be drained. If that doesn’t work, it could be due to signal interference or a damaged key—never tamper with the system yourself, as this anti-theft feature is crucial for security. Always keep the key dry and avoid storing it near your phone. For safety, have a technician check the key’s pairing status during regular maintenance to prevent issues.
