Hey everyone,
I have a 2008 s40 that i bought a few months ago in December.
This issue has happened twice.
The only connection I can make is it happens a few days after iv had an oil change.
It starts off with the car not starting in the afternoon when leaving from work. It will not even attempt to start or make any noise.
The first message reads "immobilizer please restart"
So i continue to try and start the car. No success.
Then the message will change by the third attempt to "anti skid service required"
I keep trying to start the car, and usually after 7-9 attempts it starts right up.
Like I said this has happened twice, and never in between.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
Im very protective of my car and make sure it gets top service when as soon as possible. Im scared its going to ruin my car if I don't get the problem fixed.

 

The only thing that comes to mind is a weak battery. Low voltage makes these cars act crazy. I wouldn't do anything just yet though other than carry jumper cables.

 

Okay, thank you! I will keep that in mind.
The only other thing i can think of is that maybe something is loose/damaged and its making it think to apply to the anti skid and cut power to the engine.
