The reader told me there was no connection, but the car display started displaying the trip 1 display as ---- and the info message told me there was an immobiliser fault, sure enough it wouldn't start. Then it told me the Brake system had failed and I shoudl stop safely.

Very fortunately I was able to get out, lock the car and then unlock it, which seems to have got the car back to normal...though I'm a bit wary of plugging the reader back in.

Anyone any thoughts?
you must have a support power supply for the battery when doing this kind of work . some kind of 20A+ battery charger or DC Power supply set at 14.5 v
