OBD-II (EN): Immobilizer System Error or Unexpected ECM Reset
Code P1625 most often indicates a problem with the immobilizer system – the vehicle cannot identify the key and blocks engine start. Depending on the manufacturer, it may also mean an unexpected ECM controller reset caused by electrical interference. Due to the complexity of the anti-theft system and inter-module communication, diagnostics by an experienced mechanic with a professional scanner are recommended.
Symptoms
- Flashing or constantly lit immobilizer warning light on the dashboard - Inability to start the engine (engine does not start despite key/button rotation) - Engine stalls immediately or a few seconds after starting - Immobilizer or anti-theft error message on the vehicle display - In case of ECM fault: unstable engine operation, random shutdowns, Check Engine light
Possible causes
- Damaged or worn transponder in the key (no response to antenna signal) - Malfunction of the immobilizer module/controller or ring antenna at the ignition switch - Communication problem between immobilizer and ECM (CAN/K-Line bus) - Unexpected ECM reset caused by electromagnetic interference (e.g., non-standard electronics, aftermarket audio/alarm) - Discharged or damaged battery causing loss of ECM authorization data - Damage to the wiring harness or corrosion of immobilizer controller contacts
