Problem with starting and code 1648 in a Chevrolet Spark

Hello, I have a 2010 Chevrolet Spark with 190,000 km and I'm having trouble starting the car. For a month now, the car starts whenever it wants. Initially it did it rarely, but now it has become more frequent. For example, in the morning it starts normally, but if I turn it off and try again after half an hour, it won't start. After many attempts, it finally starts. The diagnostic check showed the code 1648, which indicates a problem with the immobilizer. Replacing or removing the immobilizer is very expensive. What other solutions do you suggest? After 1-2 hours it starts again.

Check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. A weak or poor connection can cause intermittent starting issues. If the connections are fine, consider having the battery tested to ensure it’s holding a charge properly. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
