Wouldn't start, odd message

[guymon]

So I got into my car (2001 xc70 123K) last night and went to start it. It cranked great but did'nt fire. I looked down and saw a message. Now I don't know exactly what the message said but something about disabled temporarily, I think. I panicked, tried again and same thing. I took a deep breath. Removed key used the remote to lock and unlock the car. Then tried again and it started after a bit longer than normal crank. Seems fine now.

So what was the message? Maybe it's time to buy a dice.

Immobilizer

Is this a for warning to replacing the immobilizer antenna? Hopfully it was just a fluke.

One time only?
Fluke
I've had several of those from time to time on different cars
Eventually you will need a new antenna ring but not until it becomes common
