How to solve the 'Starter Lock Restart' malfunction?

This malfunction may be caused by loose grounding or improperly connected plugs. It is necessary to recheck all disassembled components. Use the vehicle's diagnostic computer to detect and clear all fault codes, then proceed with a test drive.

Last time when my car had an immobilizer failure, it was really nerve-wracking. The key wouldn't trigger any response when inserted, and the dashboard displayed this error code. I immediately checked the owner's manual for solutions and found that the first step was to verify if the key battery was dead. Trying with the spare key confirmed this was indeed the case. If replacing the battery doesn't work, then you need to reset the vehicle's system by disconnecting the power. Specifically, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for five minutes before reconnecting it to reboot the anti-theft system. Many friends have encountered similar issues, mostly due to key signal recognition failures or temporary glitches in the anti-theft control module. In such situations, avoid repeatedly turning the key to start the engine as it can damage the starter motor. If you can't resolve it yourself, immediately contact a repair shop to diagnose the fault code with professional equipment for the most reliable solution.
