Accord Immobilizer problem
My 99 Accord 4cyl is not starting because immobilizer refuses to
accept both keys. The car was towed to Honda service, who are saying that this is due to a bad battery, test says that it cranks at 420 amps cold, should be 640. Service guy told me that there is a TSB for this: bad battery can cause starter to crank ok, but messes up immobilizer. Anyone heard of this? |

If it starts perfectly when boosted by a non-running car, then they are probably correct.
