Thats what i thought at first, but it seems no.

It looks to me like this has happened because i have only one key programmed? So a little background, it was a stolen and recovered vehicle, it had no keys when i got it... So i go a key cut to code and programmed it myself, it asked for a second key to be programmed to which i aborted. I deleted all currently stored keys first. This seems to have left the immobiliser in 'learn mode' which is what is randomly giving this stupid error?...

Anyone seen this? Does that make sense?
