How do you deactivate the immobilizer on the Smart 450?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

When the immobilizer warning light appears on the Smart 450 instrument panel, it means that the ignition key that has been inserted is not recognised: this often occurs due to a coding error. To solve this error you need to use a scanner to connect to the OBD port of the vehicle: once the scanner has been connected you will need to follow the instructions shown in the tutorial to go and reset the error that leads to the activation of the immobilizer . In this way it will be possible to disconnect the scanner and verify that the key works correctly.
