My 2009 Mazda6 with advanced keyless entry with fob and push to start has been having immobilization issues. My key fob works fine to unlock the doors but will not start the car.
The car has put itself into immobilization mode 3 times now (red light on dash and red light on push to start button). The first time I had let the battery in the fob die, which had never happened before. I replaced battery in fob and took car to the dealership to get it unlocked. The car worked fine for about a month and it put itself into immobilization mode again. Took to the dealership and ordered a new key fob per their recommendation. Car worked for about a week and put itself into immobilization mode again. I have already spent $900 and need to troubleshoot myself now.
I think it might be the Ignition immobilizer module (part # GS3M66938A) that needs to be replaced. I have removed this from the steering column but I am not sure how to test it. It has 8 pins but I am having trouble locating any wiring diagrams.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
