My Vauxhall Corsa D car battery went flat, now the car won’t start, why?
This problem only occurs with the Corsa D model (2006-2014), mostly on cars up to 2009.
The flat battery means the cars BCM (Body Control Module) has insufficient power to work properly, causing it to lose its coding. Now the car thinks this is an unmatched part i.e. a security risk, thus immobilising itself.
A tell tale sign is the picture of the car with the spanner through it on the instrument display.
Fault codes this generates with diagnostic tools are….
P1632 – Wrong transponder key.
P1678 – ECM identification failed
P1679 – Wrong environment identifier received BCM
B3114 – Remote key not synchronised
B3925 – Wrong environment identifier received IPC
B3929 – Wrong environment identifier received SDM
B3977 – Wrong environment identifier received ECM.
The solution is to re-program the BCM with the cars security code (we can extract this from the car easily) and then re-match the BCM, ECM (engine control module), IPC (instrument panel cluster) and SDM (sensing diagnostic module – airbag).

My Vauxhall Vivaro Ignition Won’t Turn – Do I Really Need to Wait 7–10 Days for a Dealer Replacement?
Give Aston’s Access Auto Locksmiths a call — we can usually resolve this problem the very same day. We carry replacement ignitions in stock for both the Vauxhall Vivaro and Vauxhall Movano, allowing us to complete most repairs quickly at your location.
This is a very common fault on these vehicles due to wear and weakness within the ignition lock mechanism. Over time, the internal components fail, causing the key to become stiff, difficult to turn, or eventually jam completely.
Our mobile auto locksmith service provides fast, professional ignition repair and replacement without the long dealership delays, paperwork, or recovery costs. Get in touch today and let’s get your van back on the road.
Do you program Toyota remote fobs, transponder keys, and smart keys?
Absolutely. We supply and program Toyota transponder keys, remote central locking fobs, flip-key remotes, and smart/proximity keys for a wide range of Toyota models including the Yaris, Corolla, RAV4, Hilux, Prius, and Land Cruiser.
Can you replace and program Toyota keys if all keys are lost?
Yes. We can supply, cut, and program replacement Toyota keys and remote fobs even when all keys are missing. Using advanced EEPROM programming techniques, we can often create new keys without replacing expensive ECUs, immobilisers, or lock sets.
How do you unlock your Toyota when the smart remote key won’t work / battery dies?
Take the emergency blade out of your Toyota smart key fob by pressing the small release button on the side of the remote. Unlock the car manually. Then to start the Toyota vehicle, take the ’T’ emblem / Toyota badge on the back of the fob and press the start button with your foot on the brake. The antenna inside the start button reads the transponder in the Toyota remote key directly allowing you to start the car.
Lost All Toyota Keys? Do I Really Need a New ECU, Immobiliser & Locks Replaced?
Absolutely not. In most cases, there is no need to replace the ECU, immobiliser unit, or door locks simply because all Toyota keys have been lost.
For over 10 years, we’ve specialised in advanced Toyota EEPROM key programming. This allows us to extract and write immobiliser data directly from the vehicle’s existing control units, enabling us to create and program new keys without replacing expensive components.
This specialist process can save you a significant amount compared to dealership solutions that often involve replacing multiple control units and lock sets.
We can also reconfigure your existing locks to work with the new keys, helping you avoid the cost of purchasing a complete replacement Toyota lock set.
Get in touch today for a fast, no-obligation quote — you may be surprised how much you can save.
