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.

Having driven for decades at my age, when the anti-theft device malfunctions and the car won't start, it's usually an issue with the key or the system. The most common problem is a dead remote battery, which prevents the signal from reaching the car's anti-theft lock. I once fixed it simply by replacing the battery—very straightforward. Another possibility is corrosion inside the anti-theft module causing poor contact, which requires opening it up for inspection. Alternatively, the key might have lost its pairing with the car, making the system think it's a thief and blocking the start. Safety is crucial, so don't force it or risk accidents—just take it to a reliable shop to check and repair the module. Remember to regularly maintain and inspect the anti-theft system components to prevent issues and save yourself a lot of hassle.

As a parent, rushing to pick up and drop off kids with a car that won't start can be incredibly frustrating. Theft deterrent system failures are usually caused by key signal errors or control module overheating/lagging. First try using the spare key or replacing the battery to see if it unlocks. If that doesn't work, it might be a blown fuse causing system short-circuiting - check the manual for fuse location and replace it yourself. Don't delay repairs as it affects daily safety - getting it fixed promptly ensures peace of mind while driving.
