Did you connect 2nd working car with cables ?


From what i remember Launch had option to turn off economy mode

Yes, I have Launch, but unfortunately doesn't help...

Are you saying it's in eco mode with the engine running? Is the alternator charging the battery?

Hello, it will help to connect the power supply and increase the battery voltage

Battery voltage or condition has nothing to do with eco mode on this model.

No, the car doesn't start...

OK you need to start the engine otherwise the BSI will never come out of eco mode, eco mode has triggered because certain consumers have been on for too long without the engine running (normally the ignition switched on in a non starting situation). The BSI will come out of eco mode once you get it started.
Eco mode is not stopping the car starting, the car is in eco mode because the car is not starting. Basically just ignore eco mode & treat it like any other non start situation.

If you have the PIN, you just have to reprogram the keys and it will start
