00546 - Immob Fault - VRT not starting after standing for 6 months.

[russj249 2]

First of all I'd like to say Hi to everyone again after my VR has been off the road for most of the year so far! I figured its about time that I get it back out on the road and start using it as I built it to do!

I've gone to start it after it's been sitting for a good few months. I thought I isolated the battery but seemed I didn't! So after 2 days with the battery on charge at work, I bought it back and still wont fire.

I'm getting a "00546 Data Wiring Faulty / 27-00 - Implausible Signal" fault.

If I clear the codes sometimes it starts, then just randomly and instantly cuts out. I have to re clear the codes then to get it to start. Sometime even after clearing codes it still wont start up and all I get is a clicking relay. I have no spark until I clear codes either.

Now I've been onto measuring blocks and it says Key Recognised, but still wont go. Also done a few searches on here and on Google, but none of the posts have a definite confirmation of the fix.

Is the simplest option going to be to send it to Stealth and have them erase immobiliser? And is this a guaranteed fix?

I'm not bothered about the standard immobiliser being there as I have an aftermarket Cobra system anyway, and I fitted a remote central locking system anyway so the transponder chip is taped directly to the pick-up ring so I can use the mk4 style flip key.
