Help!!! how to reset a LDV Maxus key fob?

The battery started running out and died suddenly. Now using spare, I am trying to fix the other, but manual says take it to a LDV dealer for re-code!!! (guess when they wrote it they did't know LDV where broke and going to the cleaners!!) Can anyone help sorting my problem and is a bit frustrating. Help!

Hi
I know from experience that you cannot really re synch these fobs on the LDV Maxus vans.
What actually is the fault is an onboard component on the pcb has failed and we normally just replace that with a new one..the fob will be tested for operation and sent back. OR its the Relay in the ESA unit - under the left hand front glovebox on the bulkhead - black with cables going into it. We have those relays (soldered to the pcb) we can supply those or do the work for you. The fob connects to that ESA and the unit then fires the relays to open/close the doors. Sometimes that unit is installed upside down which causes water (condensation) to enter the box and have fun with your electrics.
The fob is SYNCHED to this unit via coding we can use your old fob to clone to a new fob and that will work with the ESA and the vehicle.
We have the parts on this link Items for sale from remobilise ltd

Here is a link to how to program the fob to the vehicle via the programmer - NOTE how you MUST have a working fob to program another (text at the start of the video... LDV Maxus flv

We can fix most problems on the LDV Maxus that occur with faults to do with the Central locking/fobs/ESA/ETACS - three relays are in the ESA and they control ONLY the central locking - two more relays are in the ETACS unit (behind the ashtray) and they control the fogs and intermittant wipers.

Any help or info needed please contact [email protected]
or tel 01792 896404.

    Thanks George - UPDATE: We can NOW program new fobs to a ESA (central locking unit) on the LDV Maxus EVEN if you have NO existing fobs...by the way - the fobs do not lose sync with the ESA unit -what happens is that an SMD component on the fob PCB fails. Even though the fob light ups and seems to transmit it is garbled. We can sort that fob or replace it with a brand new one and program that on the workbench on our own specially built jig. We can also program the transponder keys to the immo box - no need to come to us or use expensive Auto locksmiths on call outs to you.See our eBay page here for more info:http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/remobilise.ltd...

If the key had gone faulty, the key code must be re programmed on the vehicle computer. This can be done only using a PIWIS tool, available at the dealer or at a qualified Porche garage.
Try also the following reset:
turn ignition on,
turn off.
remove the transponder from the column
push any button on the fob within 6 seconds.
This procedure will reset the key synchronizing again with the vehicle computer.

SOURCE: renault key fob doesnt work

Hi.
I have a clio II, 2001, i have the same problem and i fixed it.
Don't know if will work for you but here it goes:

1 - no key in ingnition
2 - press the unlock button in console off the car for about 10 seconds(dont let go)
3 - it should work the central doors one time and then 2 times( hear)
4 - press the remote a few times until it starts working

It worked for me hope the same for you.
Please tell me if it worked and pass the message.

Good luck

If it is a factory keyless system than you do need it done by the dealer, but if it is an after market system then reply back with manufacture and model.

SOURCE: i have a 55 maxus ldv van. i have problems

sounds like it could be the pressure control valve on the fuel pump not an expensive repair. the pressure drops in the line over night. try priming the filter whilst the engine is being cranked. the control valve is held on by 3 torx screws on the end of the pump.

2007 Lincoln MKZ won't start and diagnostic says security system disabled motor? What can I do? I bought new key fob as well.

Andrew this has nothing to do with PATS immobilizer ,this is for resetting the vehicles contents theft system.

If You need to reset the anti theft system in Your 2007 Lincoln MKZ it is a pretty easy to do it just takes a few minutes. You should be able to reset it without using any special tools as well. All You need to do is turn the vehicle from off to on 8 times quickly without starting it and then leave it in the on position. You will then watch the locks in the car automatically cycle to lock and unlock. After that press and hold any of the buttons on Your key fob for 20 seconds until You har a beep. After that You can turn the vehicle off then start it again. If You have multiple problems with Your anti-theft system there may be a body control module problem that needs to be addressed by Lincoln.

LDV Maxus 3.5 Drivers door lock initially wouldn't unlock with fob, will work with key. Now will not lock or unlock on fob. Back door will unlock with fob, but does not lock, it has to be locked

The problem is not the actuators, the fault lies in the central locking control unit under the dashboard, behind the glovebox, on the firewall. The CLCU is mounted with the connection terminals to the top resulting in condensation going onto the printed circuit board inside, if the damage started a while ago there is only 3 ways to go.

1. specialist firm to repair the CLCU.
2. Replace.
3. (As I did) buy a cheap remote control receiver with keyfob/s. Cut all wires off the multiplug, there are four pairs, a permanent live and permanent earth. Test each wire to earth on the van to identify the permanent earth FIRST. Then test pairs of wires across 12v/Earth noting which pairs actuate which lock.Isolate in pairs noting which wire has to be live to lock, (Reversed it will unlock) wire each pair into the relay on the remote receiver using the relay to changeover the polarity to each pair You will then be able to Lock/Unlock all the doors, throw the old CLCU away and mount the RCReceiver eslewhere to keep it dry. each door individually. I bought a 2 way RCReceiver and can lock/Unlock front doors seperate the the rear ones which is of far more use! Any decent electrician will tell you how to wire the relays. Job Done..... (100% Sure)

Ldv maxus wont start off key but goes with a push everytime

You could check your battery if its properly charged then check your alternator, probably d alternator is bad and doesnt charge the battery wel enough. So its either your alternator or ur battery. Also try removing a batt terminal after each drive to avoid draining
