What does Immo light mean?
if the immo light doesnt come on it means the ecu has left the immobilizer on. it is a commen fault on kia. if you lock and unlock the car or sometimes just take the key out the ignition then put it back in it sorts the problem. if you dont see the IMMO light dont attempt to start it because it wont fire.
What does it mean when Kia Sedona won’t start?
The first and most common is when it won’t turn over. This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your Sedona won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own.
How does the immobiliser work on a Kia?
It comes on with ignition on before you start the car. Like Davy says, try other key, if it is still playing up it will be the immobiliser antenna coil. Its actually the ring around the barrel that has the writing on it which reads the info on the chip inside the key.
Why does the Immo light come on when driving?
My IMMO light came on when driving and did not effect the drive of the car. I later found out the IMMO light should be off when driving. The key fob was faulty and the spare key did the trick. IMMO light off and drives the same tho. Thanks for all your advice.
How much does it cost to replace Kia immobiliser aerial?
Just checked. it was only the ‘immobiliser aerial’ that needed to be replaced. Apparently they rust out and become temperamental. Supplied and fitted for £58.47 ex VAT. If left, it can cause the immobiliser control box to pack-up. I was quoted £250 to supply and fit but luckily only needed the aerial. I’ve had no problems with starting since.

What does the Immobilizer warning light on my car mean?
Generally, when you first start the engine, this light will illuminate for a few seconds showing that the correct key has been used. If the computer doesn’t recognize the code on the key, the light will flash multiple times. You won’t be able to start the engine until you use a recognized key.
