tvr griffith immobiliser problems
Discussion
I have just got my 1999 griffith 500 back on the road after 8 years in hibernation. It started on the button and passed its mot after some handbrake adjustment. after to short runs out it decided not to start again. the immobiliser led light on steering cowling has stopped lighting up . I have checked all fuses and disconnected and reconnected battery but still not working. i hope that somebody can help with advice on what the problem might be.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi Nigel,
Firstly I suggest you delete your email address and mobile number from your original post as it may attract unwanted calls and emails, TBH generally people on the forum are nice folk but posting this information on a public forum means it's there for everyone to see and you've got no control over who sees or uses it.
Now for your immobiliser:
1. Try disconnecting your battery and then reconnecting it 30 seconds or more later, this solves most freezup issues with the security system and because it's free to do it's well worth trying first.
2. If the above doesn't work, some time ago I formulated some simple instructions to help TVR owners execute a completely reversible immobiliser bypass, these instructions have been shared with over 100 TVR owners now with a 100% success rate. A bypass is guaranteed to solve your issue but you will need to send me a personal message before I'm able to share the instructions with you, obviously a new security system is the preferred solution but it is expensive, the bypass is effectively a free solution.
My immobiliser bypass is designed to be completely reversible and will still leave your car secure as there are two circuits controlled, typically the problem circuit is one for the starter solenoid so you just bypass that, the other circuit controls the ECU which is low amp by comparison so it can remain in place to ensure it's still impossible to steal the car.
Let me know if I can help, this is a common problem indeed I only had a request for my bypass instructions only today so if you're Mark or Mark is your friend you'll already have them

thanks for your advice i will try disconnecting battery again the remote central locking is working ok.. If the battery was not the correct ampage for the car would this have any effect on my problems.
No the battery amperage won't cause the problem, a faulty, flat or partly charged battery willChimpOnGas said:

Hi, I have had an identical problem this morning with regards the immobiliser on my Griffith.

You may need to give him some evidence of ownership, given that this is your first post on here. I am sure you appreciate why.

Hi Nigel .Im having immobiliser issues with my Griff 500. I did bypass it some time ago with the aid of Carl Baker on the end of the phone taking me through step by step, alas I have lost instructions. I never bothered upgrading the system as car is always garaged and never left unattended when I go for a ride out. Yesterday thought I would make the most of the fine weather and have a drive before SORN and winter layup. No ignition or fuel pump, all-other electrics fine apart from horn and boot release. Any help would be much appreciated.
