Unexpected Behavior If you've recently had a Ghost 2 immobiliser installed on your vehicle, you could be experiencing strange behavior. While this unique system can assist in stopping key cloning or hacking, there are issues that could arise. Unexpected or abnormal behaviour can indicate a problem with the ghost immobiliser.

There is also the possibility of an interruption in functionality due to software updates or programming mistakes. It is recommended to seek professional assistance if you have any of these problems. They'll be able to identify and fix the issue to ensure that your ghost immobiliser is able to work again. I own a 2022 Highlander Platinum with the Ghost 2 fitted. I'm experiencing a few issues, especially when in transport mode (which is why I suspect it's connected). It switches from drive to park every time I put the car in reverse. The vehicle won't start until I activate the disarm sequence. When my engine warning light is on, it is difficult to enter the disarming sequence. I've tried to turn off the lights but that isn't working either. I'm not sure if this is a compatibility problem or if there's another way around it. If your Ghost immobiliser device is in the transport mode it is unable to communicate with the ECU of your vehicle using the CAN data networks. This stops thieves from listening for the tell-tale click of an immobiliser relay, and it is impossible to bypass this feature. It is essential to only use the device on vehicles identified as compatible. Ensure that you ensure that your Ghost immobiliser is installed by a qualified technician to avoid any issues with the device's wiring and compatibility with other systems. An experienced installer is able to put in the device without cutting any wires, and will keep track of your installation, which will make it easier for you to troubleshoot problems in the future.
