How to Resolve Baojun 510 Anti-Theft Authentication Failure Preventing Ignition?
2 Answers
When the ignition switch is off, press and hold the "Reset" button. Press the set button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, then press the sel button on the right side of the steering wheel. Briefly press the "Clock Adjustment" button once. The maintenance cycle display will be in reset mode and will return to the normal view after a few seconds.
I recently encountered this situation - I was driving my Baojun 510 to the supermarket when it suddenly wouldn't start, and the dashboard showed an anti-theft authentication failure, which made me sweat with anxiety. Remembering that key fob battery issues often cause problems, I quickly replaced the coin cell battery, but it still didn't work after testing, leaving me quite worried. Later, I figured it might be due to low car battery voltage affecting the system or a malfunction in the anti-theft module. I tried placing the key near the steering wheel's induction area for a few minutes and repeated the operation, finally managing to start the car. Actually, the anti-theft system is quite good at preventing car theft, but we should develop good habits - don't casually leave keys near strong magnetic fields like mobile phones to avoid interfering with the chip. I recommend keeping spare key fob batteries in the car and regularly checking the car battery's health to save a lot of trouble. If it still doesn't work, visit a 4S shop immediately - their professional equipment can quickly diagnose the problem with just one scan.
