Battery went dead. Put a new battery in, now the immobilizer is engaged. The code it is throwing after a few minutes of rapid flashing, is 1 and 6. This code is from the red car and lock light indicator in the dash. In addition, I realized the battery in the key fob was dead, so I replaced that battery. When I turn the key to the on and ACC position I have all power and the immobilizer light mentioned previously, then I try to start the engine there is nothing not even a click. Does anyone know how to reset or bypass the immobilizer? I have tried three times to contact my local mazda dealership for help and have yet to hear back from Wayatt Johnson Mazda service members.

 

Have you tried your spare key?

 

I only have one key.

 

More than likely you will need to get it towed to Mazda, pay for a 2nd key & get both keys reprogrammed to the PCM.

 

I appreciate it thanks.
