2000 tracker won't start think it is the imobilizer

[Guest]

I think my 2000 Chevy tracker won't start because the immobilizer has been activated how can I start it my fab is broken and the key I have doesn't have the chip

you should hook up a scanner and see what codes are stored. A good scanner will give you the passlock codes if the wrong voltage is seen for the resistor. You can crank the engine and see if the computer sees the engine rpm. Then see what you look for next

Is your security light flashing on the dash? If it is then you're probably right the passlock isn't allowing the engine to start.

If the security light is not flashing then you need to look at everything else that could cause a crank no start condition. (it does turn over when you turn to the start position right?)

Tell me exactly what is happening when you get in the vehicle to start it up...
