2001 b2500 cutting out (poss immobiliser problem)Hi, I'm new to this forum as you can see. My b2500 has developed a fault after sitting on the drive for a few months. I left it overnight and it started fine. Once I charged the battery it seemed fine, but the red "key inside the car" light (which I assume is the immobiliser) flashes even when the vehicle is running. It flashes slowly, then stops, then flashes quickly, stops, then slowly and so on.

P0443 code definitionEvaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit MalfunctionWhat the P0443 code meansP0443 is an OBD-II generic code that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a malfunction with the purge control valve or its control circuit. The ECM has commanded the purge control valve to open and detected either an incomplete open circuit or a short in the circuit. The cause of code P0443 can be a purge control valve internal open circuit or the connector is corroded causing loss of contact with the valve. Code P0443 causes the check engine light to go on and this alone will cause a failed emission test. For this code the most common failure is the purge control valve has an internal open circuit or the vent valve will not hold in the vapors.
