Changing the battery in the fob is the first step.
Also note the fob must be in close proximity to the ignition in order for the immobiliser to disarm, as it has a transponder in it that deactivates the immobiliser(it will still deactivate it even if the light is still flashing). But if the battery is on the way out the transponder may not work and thus the immobiliser wont de-activate. You can tell if the transponder isn;t working as you will get a 2 tone alarm when you try to start the car.
