Hello,

That code typically gets triggered if a non-programmed key gets used to start the engine.

Try this method to reset:

Turn the key to on position and wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the immobilizer light should go off. Then turn off the ignition. This will reset the immobilizer.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
