Сигнализация блокирует запуск двигателя: что делать?

Блокировка запуска двигателя является функцией, которая находится в списке доступных опций практически любого противоугонного комплекса. В этом случае в системе присутствует иммобилайзер, который опознает владельца по специальной метке и позволяет завести мотор.  Блокировать запуск двигателя также могут обычные автомобильные сигнализации, имеющие в своем арсенале подобную функцию.

Рекомендуем также прочитать статью о том, почему двигатель может плохо заводиться на горячую. Из этой статьи вы узнаете об основных неисправностях, кторые вызывают затруднения в момент пуска прогретого ДВС.

По заверениям специалистов, которые работают с автомобильным электрооборудованием, более половины всех случаев неожиданных отказов двигателя заводиться напрямую связаны с неисправностями автосигнализации. Отметим, что сложность реализации блокировок в этом случае заметно проще по сравнению с комплексными противоугонными решениями. Это существенно повышает шансы снять блокировку запуска двигателя самостоятельно в случае поломки или сбоя. Далее мы рассмотрим, что делать водителю, если сигнализация блокирует запуск двигателя.

Блокировка двигателя автосигнализацией

При наличии установленных противоугонных систем за блокировку запуска мотора отвечает электрооборудование. Иммобилайзеры или автомобильные сигнализации могут оказаться неисправными и давать постоянные или единичные сбои в процессе работы.

Необходимо добавить, что степень серьезности проблемы будет зависеть не от конкретной модели или марки авто, а от сложности установленного защитного противоугонного комплекса.

Основным признаком проблем с сигнализацией является то, что исправный двигатель не заводится или сразу глохнет после запуска. Мотор может не реагировать на запуск с брелка, а также не заводиться при помощи ключа. Это означает, что система произвела частичную или полную блокировку.

Случайная активация функции блокировки двигателя

Первым делом внимательно изучите отображаемые пиктограммы на брелке сигнализации. Частой причиной блокировки является случайная активация дополнительных функций. Также необходимо проследить за показаниями контрольной лампочки СИД (при наличии) в салоне автомобиля, которая служит световым индикатором состояния сигнализации. Мигания лампы-светодиода в большинстве случаев указывают на то, что в меню активирована противоугонная функция иммобилайзера.

Если после поворота ключа в замке и включения зажигания наблюдаются частые моргания сигнальной лампы (на примере автосигнализации StarLine) перед запуском двигателя, а на самом брелке отображается пиктограмма с надписью «иммо»:

1. одним из способов решения проблемы будет вынуть ключ из замка, после чего достаточно нажать на кнопку открытия центрального замка дверей на брелке.
2. также можно выйти из автомобиля, поставить сигнализацию в режим охраны, затем снять с охраны и далее заводить двигатель.

Другими словами, необходимо удостовериться в том, что сигнализация работает в штатном и привычном для владельца режиме. До 30% случаев блокировки запуска двигателя сигнализацией происходят по причине случайного изменения программных настроек. Задачей водителя становится отключение всех лишних функций в настройках.

На примере сигнализации StarLine обратим внимание, что в данной системе имеется опция «двухэтапного» снятия блокировок. Активация функции может произойти случайно, на экране брелка будет светиться отдельная пиктограмма. Для отключения на брелке необходимо удерживать нажатой кнопку 3. Брелок издаст два пика, после чего кнопка 3 единоразово нажимается снова. Затем на несколько секунд зажимается кнопка 1, далее производится снятие охранных функций;

Отключение блокировок при помощи сервисной кнопки в салоне

В том случае, если признаки непреднамеренной активации блокировок запуска двигателя отсутствуют, можно попытаться разблокировать двигатель при помощи сервисного режима. Такой режим имеет название Valet и служит для перевода системы в сервисный режим. Для активации необходимо вставить ключ в замок зажигания, включить зажигание и далее выключить его.  

После этого нужно удерживать кнопку включения сервисного режима около 10-20 сек. Результатом станет уведомление при помощи специального короткого сигнала, после чего сигнальная лампа (световой индикатор, СИД) будет гореть постоянно. Данный способ означает отключение всех функций охраны, что также может означать снятие блокировок с двигателя. Добавим, что после устранения проблемы необходимо снова активировать охранные функции сигнализации.

В отдельных случаях также помогает аварийное отключение сигнализации при помощи скрытой кнопки в салоне автомобиля. Указанная кнопка также удерживается от 10 до 20 сек, после чего сигнальный светодиод состояния сигнализации загорается и потом гаснет. После затухания лампочки можно попробовать завести двигатель.

Самостоятельный поиск неисправностей сигнализации

• Устранить неисправность и снять блокировку двигателя своими руками зачастую удается в том случае, если получится обнаружить перегоревшие предохранители. Данная проблема часто приводит к сбоям в работе сигнализации. Предохранители необходимо проверить, в случае обнаружения проблемного элемента необходимо заменить сгоревший предохранитель на заведомо исправный.
• Неполадки в работе сигнализации также могут быть связаны с недостаточным зарядом АКБ или плохо закрепленными клеммами  на контактах батареи. В этом случае АКБ еще способна вяло провернуть стартер, но блокировка двигателя уже может сработать и далее препятствовать запуску ДВС.

При разряженном аккумуляторе может активироваться защитная функция, которая блокирует запуск двигателя в результате отключения питания или падения напряжения в электроцепи автомобиля.

• Еще одним шагом станет проверка концевых выключателей (концевиков), которые находятся под крышкой капота и багажника. Попадание влаги или окисление концевика часто становится причиной неверного сигнала на управляющий блок сигнализации, что приводит к блокировке двигателя. Обратите внимание, что непрофессиональная установка сигнализации и концевиков, а также неправильно осуществленная мойка двигателя может привести к сбоям в работе электрооборудования.

Советы и рекомендации

Если попытки снять блокировки двигателя и завести мотор оказались безуспешными, тогда высока вероятность серьезного сбоя или выхода из строя отдельных элементов сигнализации. Результатом становится произвольное срабатывание блокировок двигателя, которые штатными методами отключить не удается. Неисправную машину необходимо доставить на станцию техобслуживания, так как снятие блокировки потребует профессионального вмешательства.

Осуществить указанную доставку можно эвакуатором. Еще одним доступным способом является вызов автоэлектрика, который работает на выезд. Отметим, что конечные затраты на оплату услуги выездной разблокировки двигателя, отключения сигнализации автомобиля, аварийного открытия замков и т.п. зачастую получаются меньшими по сравнению с доставкой машины в сервисный центр на эвакуаторе и оплатой ремонта в техцентре.

Below are simple solutions that you can use to solve the issue of a key that will not turn in your ignition.Some of the seemingly simple fixes can get complicated, so be sure to keep your eyes out for anything that increase the difficulty of your needed repair. 90004 90015 1. Turn the Steering Wheel 90016 90002 The most common reason that a car key will not turn is that the steering wheel has locked. This will happen when the steering wheel has been moved after the key has been removed from the ignition cylinder. 90004 90019 90020 Turn the steering wheel to the right and left. 90021 90020 Note what side the wheel can not be turned to, and the direction that has give.90021 90020 Pull the steering wheel in the direction that has give, and hold it there. 90021 90020 Turn the key toward the accessory position while keeping the steering wheel turned. 90021 90020 If nothing happens, rock the steering wheel as you turn the key. 90021 90020 If this does not work, rock the steering wheel as you jiggle the key in the ignition. 90021 90032 90002 You can mix and match with the methods of turning the wheel and moving the key. As soon as the key turns the steering wheel will unlock, and the car should start.If the key does not turn, then you may have a more severe issue. 90004 90015 2. Lubricate the Lock 90016 90002 A very prevalent cause when a car key will not turn in the ignition is that the keyway of the ignition cylinder is a little jammed up. Just lubricating the lock may be enough to solve your issue. You will say that WD40 is often the go-to example for lubrication of any kind, but I would not recommend it in this case. 90004 90002 It is a classic debate in both the locksmithing and the lock picking hobbyist community as to what the best lubricant is for locks, so at the risk of starting a controversy, I will recommend either using a silicon or graphite based lubricant.Essentially, you are looking for something that is not going to collect dust, grime, and particulates over time, which will eventually jam the lock’s internals to a greater degree. 90004 90002 You can use WD40 as long as you are going to be changing out the ignition cylinder after you turn the key successfully. When you are going to replace it anyway, it gunking up further over time does not matter. 90004 90019 90020 Gather your lubricant, key, and cloth. 90021 90020 Spray the lubricant into the keyway of the ignition cylinder.90021 90020 Wipe away the overspray or anything leaking from the keyhole. 90021 90020 Insert the key and turn it. 90021 90020 If this does not work, jiggle the key. 90021 90020 If this does not work, add more lubricant and repeat. 90021 90032 90002 In cases where this goes minutes without working, lubrication is not the answer when your car key will not turn in the ignition. 90004 90015 3. Rapping the Key 90016 90002 Beyond lubrication, you might need to try something more severe to unjam your lock.It is true that bump keys do not work on cars, but by using a hammer or a vibrating mechanism and your key that will not turn in the car, you might be able to solve your issue. This «rapping», if you will, is meant to shake internal components in the lock into the proper position. 90004 90002 Springs can get lost, or other small parts of the inside of the lock can get stuck. Where lubrication can fail to unstick or get things to move properly, you can shake things temporarily into positions, just in time to turn the key properly.90004 90002 The tool that you use does not need to be a hammer. It can be anything that can create a noticeable vibration that can be applied to the key and / or the cylinder. The idea is just to get the inside of the lock to move more than you could by shaking your key, car, or dashboard. 90004 90019 90020 Place your car key in the car’s ignition. 90021 90020 Use your tool on the key while trying to turn the key. 90021 90020 If this does not work, try to use your tool on the ignition cylinder.90021 90032 90002 Just be very difficult about the amount of force you use in this process as you could damage your key, the ignition, etc. If you are trying to hit your key hard enough to break a locking mechanism, operate with extreme caution as your desire to break things might be more successful than you intend. 90004 90015 4. Fix The Key 90016 90002 Sometimes the problem is with the key you are using, and addressing that particular point of failure is the only option for solving the issue when the ignition key will not turn.If the key is broken, all hope is not lost. Sometimes you can fix a broken key. This is not always the case but it is possible. 90004 90002 The most important part of this process is figuring why your car key is not working. This will then allow you to discover the many different ways the variety of complications can be solved. As long as you can get your key out when your car key will not turn in the ignition, you should be able to investigate the car key. 90004 90083 90020 Try a spare car key, and see if a different key will work.90021 90020 Compare the car key that will not turn in the ignition. 90021 90020 Look at the bitting on the blade of the key for any wear. 90021 90020 Examine for any twists, bends, or breaks. 90021 90092 90002 Fixing the key can actually be very simple, you just need to know what is wrong. If the issue is not clearly visible, assume there is something wrong with electronics. 90004 90015 5. Replace the Key 90016 90002 90098 90004 90002 The most simple fix when there is something wrong with your car key is to just replace the key.There is always a way to copy a broken key. No matter how the key is broken or whether this is something you do yourself or a task that you contract out, there is a solution. 90004 90002 There are several ways to approach this process. 90004 90002 In terms of how much it costs for car key duplication, the number will go up or down depending on how much you do yourself. Contacting your dealership being the most expensive option as it is the most obvious and requires no real time into research.Contacting a locksmith being the middle ground in terms of price, and handling all the work yourself being the cheapest option. 90004 90015 6. Replace the Ignition Cylinder 90016 90002 If the problem is not with your key, then the reason your car key will not turn in ignition might have to do with a faulty ignition cylinder. You will likely not have to replace the entire ignition assembly. And unless your car does not start when the key finally turned you will not even need to undergo ignition switch replacement.90004 90002 As long as you buy the proper ignition cylinder, ignition cylinder replacement does not have to be complicated. Make sure you are buying the right product for your make and model of vehicle, and understand that this process will leave you with an ignition key that is unique from your car door / trunk key. Rekeying will be necessary to remedy this issue. 90004 90019 90020 Turn your key to the accessory position 90019 90020 This can be done with some of the methods listed above (2 or 3, mainly).90021 90032 90021 90020 Find the locking pin on your ignition assembly. 90021 90020 Use a tool of the correct size to depress the lock pin. 90021 90020 Pull the old ignition cylinder lose. 90019 90020 You might need to shake the ignition cylinder loose or finesse it out of its housing. 90021 90032 90021 90020 Insert your new key into the new ignition cylinder. 90021 90020 Fit the new ignition cylinder into the housing. 90021 90020 Allow it to lock into place. 90021 90020 Remove your key.90021 90020 Test to see if the car will start and the key will will not turn in car ignition. 90021 90032 90002 It can get a little hairy if you can not use one of the methods above to get the key to the accessory position. If the key will not turn in the ignition, period, you might have to take the steering column apart and this will cease being a simple solution. 90004 90015 7. Call a Locksmith 90016 90002 When you start out by saying, «my key will not turn in the ignition,» you might end up saying, «I need a locksmith».A locksmith can help with any issue where a key will not turn in the ignition of a car. If you are worried about how much a locksmith costs, know that it should be more reasonable than other avenues of professional help. There are three main reasons your ignition key will not turn, and we will get into how a locksmith can help. 90004 90146 My Key Will not Turn In the Ignition Because of the Steering Wheel Lock 90147 90002 For something as simple as your steering wheel locking, it is not likely to be essential for you to contact a locksmith.It would behoove you to be very patient with performing the process described in the first section of this article (90149 Turn the Steering Wheel 90150). 90004 90002 If you have a new car, it is unlikely that the key or ignition has worn out. But if there is some evidence of a break-in, the reason your ignition key will not turn might not be something as simple as the steering wheel locking. In this case, if you can not unlock your steering wheel and do not know why your key will not turn in the ignition, this is when you should call a locksmith.90004 90146 My Key Will not Turn In the Ignition Because of the Key 90147 90002 When there is something wrong with your car key, a locksmith is often the best option for solving the issue. Unless you have a spare key, avenues such as a hardware store are not going to be able to provide you with a duplicate once the key is already broken. 90004 90002 A locksmith will have key cutters and blanks for every type of car. If the key is worn or broken, there is no issue, as a new key can be cut from code.Where the dealership might rake you over the coals, in terms of price, a locksmith can deliver all the services you need at a more competitive rate. 90004 90146 My Key Will not Turn In the Ignition Because of the Ignition Cylinder 90147 90002 Ignition cylinder issues are some of the most difficult to detect and fix, and it is often overlooked when people are trying to figure out why their car will not start or why their key will not turn in the car ignition. Though it is possible to do this work yourself, a locksmith can solve any complications that rear their head.90004 90002 Replacing the ignition cylinder can get rather complicated in this specific case, where you can not turn the key in the ignition. Taking the steering wheel covers off, or manipulating the key as needed can create many opportunities to damage your automobile further. When your car key will not turn in the ignition, do not let that lead to needing a mechanic and a whole lot of money. Turn to a locksmith before things get out of hand. 90004 90146 Closing Thoughts 90147 90002 90169 90004 90002 Diagnosing the reason your car key will not turn in the ignition is the best way to begin the process of fixing the issue.If you can not determine the problem your car is having, it is best to contact the professionals. Calling a locksmith is always a simple answer, but the rest of these simple solutions can get complicated depending on your skills and situation. Take care to contact a more seasoned technician before things move from a complicated fix to an expensive fix. 90004 90002 Category: Automotive, Car Keys, How To’s 90004 90175 .90000 4 Causes of a Car Engine That Cranks But Will not Start (and How to Fix) 90001 90002 Updated 90003 November 21, 2019 90004 90005 90002 Anyone who owns a vehicle has likely experienced the frustrating problem of a car that cranks but doesn ‘ t start, even after repeatedly turning the key in the ignition. However, do not let desperation keep you from logically figuring out why your vehicle cranks but will not start normally. 90005 90002 90009 Looking for a good online repair manual? 90010 Click Here for 5 of the most popular options.90005 90012 Reasons a Car Cranks But Will not Turn Over 90013 90002 Cranking the car is engaging the starter to energize the engine. The starter causes the flywheel to turn which rotates the crankshaft when all is working correctly. Sometimes this process is interrupted when there is a hitch in the system, and the car engine will not continue to run after it «turns over» or cranks. 90005 90002 For the engine to start normally, it requires sufficient fuel pressure, an appropriately timed spark and normal compression.When it does not start, the problem usually lies with one of these systems though the starter system can also be the culprit. Below are some common causes of an engine that cranks but does not start and some troubleshooting tips to identify the cause. 90005 90018 # 1 — Spark Problems 90019 90002 90021 90021 90005 90002 Lack of spark may occur due to a damaged ignition module, a faulty crank position sensor, a flooded engine (sometimes happens in older or high-mileage cars), bad spark plugs, or a problem in the ignition circuit, such as the wiring, security system (the fuel flow may have been shut off to prevent theft or the chip in the key could be faulty), or a malfunctioning ignition switch.90005 90002 An inappropriately timed spark can occur if there’s an issue with the timing system. This can be difficult to diagnose, but a timing light is a useful tool to check that all the cylinders are firing exactly when they are supposed to. 90005 90002 To determine if there is a problem with the spark, visually check the distributor cap (if your vehicle has one) and the spark plug wires, as these may degrade with age. A spark tester should be used to check for a proper arc from each spark plug wire or coil.90005 90002 If you suspect the engine may be flooded after repeated attempts to start the car, remove the spark plugs and let them dry, then replace them and try again. 90005 90018 # 2 — Lack of Fuel Flow 90019 90002 90035 90035 90005 90002 Problems with fuel flow may be due to a damaged fuse for the fuel pump, a bad fuel pump, contaminated or incorrect fuel in the tank, a faulty or clogged fuel filter or injector, or simply an empty fuel tank (the fuel gauge is not always accurate). 90005 90002 Having the appropriate fuel pressure is important for your car engine to start or run, especially for fuel-injected engines.Listen to hear the fuel pump buzz for a few seconds as you turn the ignition to the «on» position. 90005 90002 If no buzz is heard from inside the car or back by the fuel tank, the pump may be dead and fuel is not reaching the engine at all. 90005 90002 Note that some fuel pumps only flow while the car is cranking so some cars do not have an audible buzz. Consult the internet or your owner’s manual for more information for your specific model. 90005 90002 If you do hear the buzz of the fuel pump, you can try putting a flathead screwdriver on top of each injector (with the handle next to your ear) while the car is cranking.If the injectors are firing, you will hear a faint ticking sound from each injector, transmitted by the shaft of the screwdriver. 90005 90002 Some cars have a safety feature called an inertia switch which shuts off the flow of fuel automatically after an impact. If your vehicle recently sustained an impact, check your owner’s manual to see if this feature is present in your vehicle and learn how to manually switch it to allow fuel to flow again. 90005 90018 # 3 — Low compression 90019 90002 90053 90053 90005 90002 Each cylinder needs compression for correct engine function.The compression ratio compares the maximum cylinder volume to the minimum cylinder volume during each stroke of the piston. If one or more cylinders have low compression, air from the combustion cycle leaks past the piston rings which limits the amount of work that cylinder can do to spin the crankshaft. 90005 90002 Compression problems can be caused by a broken or loose timing belt or chain or a snapped overhead camshaft. An overheated engine is another severe problem that can prevent your car from starting.90005 90002 Try using a compression gauge or tester to see if you have a problem with the compression in your car. If so, a leak down test is a secondary test to check for leaks in the cylinder. A professional mechanic can perform these tests and examine the cylinders if you do not feel comfortable checking yourself. 90005 90018 # 4 — Power Supply Problems 90019 90002 90065 90065 90005 90002 Another possible problem is a weak starter motor that uses a lot of amps to crank the engine, then does not have much juice left to switch on the fuel injectors and ignition system .In this case, you will probably notice that the starter makes an unusual noise when you attempt to crank the engine or it does not turn over at all. 90005 90002 Weak or corroded battery cables or a dying battery can contribute to the problem as well. Check the voltage of the battery with a multimeter while cranking the engine. It should show over 10 volts. 90005 90002 Check for blown fuses by visually removing and inspecting the wiring of each fuse when the car is shut off. If they appear to be in good condition, put them back in then try turning the car ignition into the «on» position and using a test light to check each fuse for electrical current flow.Replace any damaged fuses with new ones from an auto supply store. 90005 90012 Troubleshooting Advice 90013 90002 90077 90077 90005 90002 If the engine cranks but will not start, turn the car off and remove the air inlet tube attached to the throttle body. Then spray a small quantity of starting fluid into the engine after gently pushing the throttle open. With that done, try cranking the engine once again. 90005 90002 If the engine starts but dies after a few seconds, this means that it has no fuel but the spark and compression are okay.However, if the engine does not start, it almost certainly lacks spark. 90005 90002 Avoid repeatedly cranking the car engine to try to make it start, as this can wear out the starter or drain the battery. 90005 90002 If you must try multiple times, wait several minutes for every 15 seconds of cranking performed to allow the starter to cool down. It should not take more than a couple seconds per attempt to know if you’ve resolved the issue. 90005 90002 Checking sensors and actuators for problems is critical, as modern cars have a variety of electrical components that can cause failure in the engine starting process.90005 90002 The best way to do this is to check the car computer for codes (faults in the electrical system) with a scan tool that can be found at most auto supply stores. Most of these problems will also cause the check engine light to illuminate, but not all of them. 90005.
