No start

[pastey123]

Thank you everyone for replying. I should have mentioned that the clutch switch works fine. I was getting the car to crank and the clutch switch prevents you from cranking the engine.

Yesterday I ordered the Autel MD802 from amazon and received it today. Scanning the system revealed that the car was not recognizing the keys. I cleared these fault codes and the car word fine now.



Now the real question is why did this happen? What can cause the car to stop recognizing the key seemingly out of nowhere?

Then why did you say 4 times in your first post that it wouldn't crank?

Glad you are getting somewhere.

Let me clarify. The car would not crank at all until I tried bridging the start lock relay. With the relay bridged it began to crank but not start because the ignition was not recognizing the key. Since it was cranking I eliminated the possibility that it was the clutch switch at that point.

But the car runs now. I was able to remove the fault that was preventing the car from starting as shown in the picture.

I just would like to know what would cause the car to stop recognizing the key if anyone knows.
