Renault clio imobilizer wont go of when ignition key is turned on

Check the ignition wire under dash first to see if it gets power. If not then wiggle key while in ignition. Sometimes they go bad. Also check fuses.

Hi Lesley,
on the Renault clio there is a safety button which is located on the left side inner wing close to the fire wall. Press it to become ready to start. Probably it is the fault

wiring connector going to injection unit on right side of engine disconnect it clean terminals with screwdriver and sand paper wet and dry preferabely once this is done spray connectors ,reconnect it and joddle the all other electrical connections on engine spray all with wd40 once this is done the car will start you could try starting car after each connection worked on common fault on these cars also if its a immobiliser fault reset sequence as follows remove key from ign lock up car holding key in locked position count to 30 seconds then unlock car,put key in the ignition to third position( ie key position before starter is engaged) wait 20 seconds then remove key reinsert and car will start if not go through sequence again

check the batterrie of your remote

Battery connections

hold the cetral locking lock all button down until the doors lock and unlock. The imobilser light goes solid red. At this point you have 10 to press the botton on your key 2 times . the doors will unlock and lock.

its attached to the gearbox

1-insert and remove key from ignition two times

2-close and open driver door two times

3-insert and remove key once from ign.

4-close and open drvr door twice

5-insert key into ign.,then close driver door

6-turn key to on (not start) then off, twice this is rewrite mode,have all remotes to reprogram it will clear any lost remotes.

7-remove key from ignition,the door locks should cycle twice.if not start over.it may take a few tries.

8-press lock/unlock together and hold for a second

9-release,and press lock on remote,the door locks will cycle confirming program.continue to do other remotes you have,steps 8 and 9.if only one in possession,you are done. To end mode open door or insert key into ignition.

You'll need to follow the steps with no more than a 1-2 second delay between each step.. hope it works

if you turned the key with the ignition with the imobilizer, you now have to get the right ignition and a new PCM because the PCM now thinks the car has SKIM (imobilizer)

check the earht wire on your battery, if its worn have it replaced
