NX immobilizer problem

Hey, I'm having immobilizer issues with my 2021 Lexus NX hybrid. It has about 204,137 kilometers on it. The engine won't start consistently, sometimes starts briefly then stops. There's an error stored, but I can't figure it out. Could it be key programming?

Strange, I had something similar happen in my NX not too long ago. Does it feel like the ignition is being cut off almost immediately? I wonder if it's the same issue.

Yeah, that's exactly it – an abrupt cutoff. Was your issue also intermittent, or did it become constant? Did you fix it yourself, or did you need a professional?

Yep, exact same thing. It started occasionally, then became constant. I tried a few things, but honestly, I think this is one of those times when you just have to bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. Could be a headache trying to fix it yourself.

Thanks, I took it to a workshop, and it was the key programming. Cost me 45€ to fix. Appreciate it!
