Hi eveyone,

probably beating a drum, i have a customers AU falcon UTE, 2000 model, 6 pack, it has smart shield and smart lock issues, I have completed a parameter reset, I have replaced the keys, I cant get it to start. before anyone asks, it has a working interior lamp, i have extracted the following code: P1358 IDM signal out of test range. I have been toying with the idea of disabling the pats, modifying the starter relay wiring to enable crank regardless of immobilizer status. Am looking at two options, a J3 chip and getting the pats disabled inside the ECU. i have been told that a bloke by the name of Nathan on this forum might be able to help with this, happy to send it to him and pay a fee.

My mobile number is 0406 429 113

Please give me a call, need to resolve this issue for my client.

if it's a 2000 model AU then i don't think it has smartlock [you can tell which it has by the remote used]. what did you use to do the parameter reset, keys etc.
