Thalia immobilizer error

I'm having a real headache with my 2013 Renault Thalia diesel. The engine won't start! Sometimes it fires up for a second and then dies. I scanned it and it's throwing an immobilizer error. I'm pulling my hair out here!

Sounds like a key programming issue. Have you tried your spare key to rule that out?

Yeah, tried the spare key, no luck. Same thing happens. Any thoughts on what could cause the programming to just go bad like that?

Could be a number of things, but if both keys are failing, it's unlikely to be the keys themselves. More likely an issue with the immobilizer module itself or the communication between it and the ECU. Best to get it checked at a workshop with the proper diagnostics.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a local shop, and it turned out the key programming was indeed corrupt. They recoded it for 45€. Runs like a charm now!
