Chevrolet N300 immobilizer issue

My 2010 Chevrolet N300 with a gasoline engine won't start. Sometimes it starts for a second and then dies. I scanned it and there's an error about the immobilizer. Is my key fob dead?

A 2010 Chevrolet N300 with a gasoline engine is experiencing starting issues, with the engine starting briefly before dying, and an immobilizer error is detected. The problem is likely related to the key fob or the vehicle's anti-theft system. The suggested solution is to have the key reprogrammed by a professional, which successfully resolves the issue.

Sounds like an immobilizer issue. When the engine starts briefly and cuts out, and an error is stored, the anti-theft system might be the problem. Does the security light behave normally when you insert the key? Is the key signal being read properly? Have you tried your spare key?

The security light seems to be flashing weirdly. I only have one key, though. Should I try to reset the car electronics somehow? Or is there a way to bypass the immobilizer?

Given the symptoms and the flashing security light, it seems the key's programming is the problem. Bypassing the immobilizer isn't a good idea because of security. Visit a workshop and have them diagnose and reprogram the key. They can also check for issues with the car's electronic system.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to the shop, and you were right. The key needed reprogramming. Cost me 45€ and now it runs great!
