Symptoms:
* Car will turn over but wont fire up sometimes. * Smartlock 'hand' light flashing on and off while car is not on. * Smartlock 'hand' light flashes like crazy when the car is started. * Under light acceleration, car hesitates for half second then drives normal. Happens occasionally but noticed more often in the last week or so. Certainties: * Interior light definitely works. * After a half hour of leaving the car alone, it will start as if nothing happens but smartlock light still visible. * I can hear the fuel pump working * Coil pack is less than a year old. Possible causes: * Smartlock Module * Ignition module * BEM * Crank Angle Sensor I just got a tip off from Bruce to try leaving the ignition on to full accessories position for 45mins to see if the smartlock resets itself. Will try this when I get home. Anyone else willing to offer suggestions?

Another question, does an AU series 2 have smartlock or smart shield, and what is the difference?

AU 2 is smart shield. Much better security system, not sure of the exact differences though

AU2+ = Smartshield AU2 they changed the key to the one with the 'chip' in it.

I have 2 keys for the car and 3 key fob remotes. Does the key have a battery in it? Would it make a difference if I tried using a different key and remote to access the car?

No battery in the key, only the "zapper"
Try a different key, it may work |

as bizarre as it sounds, the car started fine, smartshield was flashing like crazy, get on the main road, flashing disappeared. Drove home fine. Get the spare key and remote, locked/unlocked the car , then turned the car on with the spare key. Started fine. No unusual flashing from the dash other than what normally flashes. Wtf?
