Hi,

A few weeks ago, for the first time in 7 years, my 156 wont start. After
inspection, it was clear that the keylock electronics were malfunctioning.
The yellow coloured keysymbol in the central display doesn't light up at
all, prior to starting the engine (were it should normally light up for just
a second). The service manual only mentions a continues lighting keysymbol,
indicating an error on this feature.

Locking, unlocking didn't help; neither did a new insertion of the key.
Using the 2nd (spare) key also didn't help.

Desperately I started to try to execute the emergency procedures, by using
the throttle pedal (10s) and flashing red injection indicator in the right
display, as tools for a sort of 'manual' input of the keylock code.

A few weeks ago this stops the error, even after not finishing the entire
procedure!

Yesterday, it didn't help at all.

Anybody any idea to recover from such an error, or maybe it is a known
hidden feature ???

Thanks in advance for your reactions.
