    Default Astra H Crash mode

    After a little advice on this one before i get stuck in.
    Had a call for lost keys on an Astra H today customer had the code cardalready so nice easy job I thought. Turns out its not.
    Got in hazards going off turned them off and didnt think anything of it. Only had 10 volts so put a booster on it and got 13.5 volts at the obd socket. Checked fault codes with the mvp and none present. Cleared the old keys and programmed the new one no problem and the remote works fine but it wont start.
    A bit of customer interegation reveals its a cat D and had a side impact front passenger seat airbag and curtain airbag have been deployed and now removed. So its in crash mode and obviously will need the airbag ecu reset and airbags replaced or emulated before i go any further.
    Borrowed an op-com cable to check all the codes and i got a lot more than I was expecting.
    The 4 Airbag errors I was expecting but not the other 21 fault codes!
    I havent had to deal with one of these in this situation before so any advice as to weather or not the rest of the codes are related to the crash mode or not would be appreciated.
    If i turn on the ignition with the key I have programmed you can hear the fuel pump prime itself and the engine turns over and the remote works. With an unprogrammed key the pump doesn't prime and the engine doesn't turn over. So surely this suggests the key is programmed but the ecu is still reporting the key as unprogrammed.
    Also despite the pump priming (and yes i put fuel in it) no fuel is reaching the injectors.
    Any pointers would be much appreciated before I start.

    If it makes any difference the op-com I read the codes with was a clone interface. I'll be using a genuine Vaux-com one when I get back to it.

    did you clear the faults with opcom? how many came back? although there will be airbag faults as a result, not sure that this will stop key programming? have you successfully programmed the key? does it show in the info blocks in the immo on opcom? does the engine management light flasg rapidly to indicate non programmed?

    Tried clearing the faults and they all came straight back. Cant get into the immobiliser system with op-com it wont accept the pin for some reason. Although the pin works fine with mvp and sbb. Engine lite doesn't flash.

    Check CIM connector if driver airbag has been deployed.Also check UPC.

    CIM units are prone to all types of failure, with op com, see if pin is accepted by ecu, also, interrogate customer further, if any module has been replaced then car wont start, check every module for same VIN number.

    dont know if this will be any help but if its not excepting the pincode could be security wait time check in opcom in live data i was caught with a vectra c like this before each time you put the pincode and doesnt accept possible its locking each time it doubles starting at 10 minutes if you go to ecu or immo im not 100% sure which module and go to measuring blocks you will security wait time maybe worth a look

    I am more concerned about CAN faults rather than Fuel Cut-off switch.
    CIM is CAN gateway in these cars.

    Thanks for every ones input gives me some things to check. The can communications were my mane concern as I wasn't sure if they are symptomatic of the car shutting down communications due to it being in crash mode. Or if its a whole other set of problems. I'm not going to get back to this until next week now. But i'll let you know how I get on.

    Also check if CIM has been replaced,Airbag clock spring & immo. is part of CIM.Once crash been cleared hazards will turn off.
    According to your fault codes CIM has been replaced.

    Cim module is damaged or can wires broken.
