	* In case of Engine Starting Issues please make sure that you are really experiencing an Immobilizer related Problem! On most models using conventional keys, the Engine will still start but cut out after 1-3 Seconds if an Immobilizer related Problem is the cause. On models using Kessy Systems and Electronic Keys, most systems in the car won't power up at all if if an Immobilizer related Problem is the cause. If you are NOT experiencing this behavior (e.g. Instrument Cluster powers up, and engine cranks but doesn't fire at all or engine won't crank) this is likely NOT Immobilizer related.		* In case of Engine Starting Issues please make sure that you are really experiencing an Immobilizer related Problem!

			* If found on a New Beetle, can be caused by the Insulation Displacement Crimp (IDC) terminals that are used for the reader coil at T32a/2 and T32a/17 (green connector) that result in poor contact. This can degrade the signal from the key.

On most Models these systems are separate and should therefor also be diagnosed separately.		* This Fault Code can be stored in due to Remote Control or Immobilizer Problems.

== 01176 - Key Faulty: Signal too Low ==

==== Possible Causes ====

* Low voltage in key-battery
* Bad connections between immo reader coil and immo control module

==== Possible Solutions ====

* Replace key-battery
* If more than one key acts like this, check / clean the connector between immo reader coil and immo control module, the contacts tend to oxidize
* There is also another known issue with the wiring between reader coil and immo module, they are known to be too short so there is a 'longer' wiring (8D0-972-275) available
