OBC CODE defaults to off when the battery is disconnected. That's why it's just about useless as a security device.
First check is for 12V+ at the + terminal of the coil when the ignition is on and you try to start it. (connect a small (5W) 12V lamp between the coil + terminal and battery negative).
