    in the middle of my trip to florida, i have noticed the engine immobilizer system light (center console, car icon with key inside) flashes after i shut the engine off, remove key and leave the vehicle. first time its done this.........the manual is useless. I tried disconnecting the battery, didn't fix the issue . This can't be right, can it? If so, why didn't i ever see the light previously? my main concern is that i will have a dead battery soon.
