The customer of this 2004 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9JTD was having problems with the vehicle starting. Diagnostics showed that the immobiliser was bringing up an invalid login code and not recognising the key properly. They had a new key coded but the fault was still present and the car was not starting so they sent the unit to us for ECU Testing.
