Hi KALLIE,

The best way to reset the immobilizer is to roll all of the windows up and exit the car. then lock the car using he fob. Next let the car sit for twenty minutes. Then unlock the car using the fob. This should do the trick.

Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Best, Ken
