Immobiliser
 
Mini cooper 08 1.6
The EWs needs resyncronising. Downloaded BMW INPA software and and have a K+DCAM USB interface cable. When plugged into car can run fault codes and check EWS for analogue values and digital values. This tells me the ECU engine counter is locked. When I use the INPA synchronising tool it comes up with error code number 19. IFH-0009
No response from control unit.
why won’t INPA synchronise
Please help!!!

Modern immobilisers use coded transponders, key fobs, or integrated security modules that communicate with the car’s ECU to verify identity before allowing ignition. This system makes it extremely difficult for thieves to hot-wire or bypass the engine start sequence, offering an added layer of protection for your car.
