car is in lockdown because the antitheft system is sensing a fault. see owners manual. usually you have to exit the car lock it with the remote and unlock with the remote and turn key to run position and observe the lights on the readout for security and retry starting car
try cleaning the terminals, jump starting or use your key to unlock your driver door manually. Perhaps the factory alarm is armed and will prevent the vehicle from starting
your key transponder may be faulty, you would need to take the keys to a dealer and see if they can read the codes from them, if not, the car wont see them either.
If a yellow key symbol is flashing on your dash then this is another indicator of the key failing. If the plip cannot unlock the car either and only the key blade will do it, then the immobiliser may need re-coded to your keys after the battery replacement, or if it has worked since then, and the stopped recently, I would suspect the transponder chip in the key.
Pry up the plastic molding from around the Radio/HeaterAC controller and from around the Gear Shifter. Detach the HeaterAC module from the molding by removing the four 7-mm hex bolts from the back side. Take out the 3 7-mm hex bolts to loosen the Radio. Put key in ignition & turn to "On" position, apply brake, and shift into "drive" or lower gear. Turn HeaterAC module to the left, sideways orientation, and pull out the Radio. Disconnect main wiring harness from back center of Radio if there is not enough slack to take the Radio out past the plastic molding. Leave the antenna connected. Look inside and to the left at the back of the Ignition Cylinder assembly. Locate the THIN YELLOW WIRE which is bundled alongside the thin white and the thin black wire. You may have to stick you hand in and fish a bit to grab this "Thin wire Trio". DO NOT mess with the main rear/downward ignition wiring harnesses (1 of which contains a Thick Yellow Wire - leave it alone).
Isolate the THIN YELLOW WIRE from the 2 others. As a precaution, RECONNECT the MAIN RADIO WIRE HARNESS, and let the Radio hang to the right side. Put the key in the ignition, and put the car back in PARK. START THE CAR. CUT THE THIN YELLOW WIRE with the car running. Tape both ends of the cut wire. Place black electrical tape over the "Security" light (less annoying). Turn off the car engine. Disconnect the Radio main wire harness to Re-Install the Radio, if necessary. You may need to crawl under the passenger-side dash to push the main wire harness back into the radio while holding the Radio from the front. The rest of the installation is the reverse of removal.

my engine will not start the the immobilizer light is flashing the key does not have a chip in it but the owners manual said the kay has a code but the car startit before with the same kay my car is hyundai accent x reg year 2001
it can be done....Start the truck and look at key cylinder under those covers of the seering column. There is a yellow wire that runs to it....CUT IT...Lol...really after its running cut that yellow wire..Just member to look at the key cylinder. you will see very small yellow wire and black and maybe a white....Cut the yellow on and it kills the factory antitheft. however the light wil be on the dash that says anti theft. If you are so inclined just take the dash panel out and remove he bulb. I did...
