immobiliser issues

AS per Kia owners manual. Not sure if its the same for 2003.

Limp home (override) procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
remains on continuously after blinking
6 times, the transponder installed
in the ignition key is out of order. You
cannot start the engine without using
the limp home procedure. To start the
engine, you have to input your password
using the ignition switch.
The following procedure shows how
to input a sample password of “2345.”
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON
position. The IMMO indicator will
blink 6 times and remain on indicating
the beginning of the limp
home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC
position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this example
“2”), turn the ignition key to the
ON and ACC position twice.Wait 3
seconds but not more than 10 seconds,
and perform the same procedure
for the next digits (for
example, for “3”, turn the ignition to
ON and ACC 3 times).
4. If all of the digits have been input
successfully, you have to start the
engine within 10 seconds. If you
attempt to start the engine after 10
seconds, the engine will not start
and you will have to input your
password again.
After performing the limp home procedure,
you hahave to see an authorized
Kia dealer immediately to
inspect and repair your ignition key or
immobilizer system.
