What is the reason for the Maxus V80 anti-theft device failure preventing the car from starting?
2 Answers
The reasons for the Maxus V80 anti-theft device failure preventing the car from starting are mostly due to depleted battery power, rust or poor contact on the battery's positive or negative terminals, or the remote control being exposed to rain, water, or oil. Solution: When the car door is disabled, an alarm will sound. If this happens to the car, use the key to open the driver or passenger door, then wait a few minutes for the alarm to stop. Open the engine hood, locate the alarm, and then turn it off. Precautions for using the anti-theft device: The anti-theft device has a power-off relay, and the original car has an anti-theft computer. Without the remote, it is generally impossible to deactivate it. For aftermarket anti-theft devices, you can remove the power fuse on the main unit to deactivate the anti-theft function, but this will also disable the remote door lock.
I've been driving for many years and have dealt with situations like anti-theft device failures preventing the car from starting several times on my own. It could be that the key's chip is out of power—a depleted battery in the remote key can cause the anti-theft system to fail to recognize the signal, locking the car. Try replacing it with a new battery; that might solve the problem. It could also be an issue with the anti-theft control module, such as an internal circuit short or program malfunction, which requires professional equipment to diagnose. Additionally, check if the anti-theft-related fuses in the fuse box have blown—sometimes they trip due to excessive current. Never attempt to force-start the car, as it can easily damage other components. If all else fails, try using the spare key to unlock and start the car. If the problem persists, it's advisable to promptly visit a professional repair shop to inspect the module and wiring, ensuring driving safety.
