Land Rover Discovery passenger door repair led to anti-theft system shutdown issue on Land Rover Discovery

Problem overview

Some Land Rover Discovery owners report experiencing issues with the anti-theft system shutting down during passenger door repairs. These problems can arise because the anti-theft system is designed to automatically arm and disarm with the smart key, and any faults in the immobilization system may trigger warning indicators. In some instances, if the anti-theft system is unexpectedly activated, it can prevent the vehicle from starting due to the ignition kill switch being engaged. Owners may need to reset or disarm the immobilizer alarm by using the key in the driver's door lock, and if alarms persist, temporarily disabling the anti-theft system may be necessary until the issue is resolved. It is crucial for owners to conduct door repairs carefully to avoid inadvertently triggering the anti-theft system and to seek professional assistance if problems continue.
