if the smartlock light is flashing quickly then doesnt that mean smartlock has immobilised the car?

have u tried resetting the BEM/smartlock module?

leave a window down just incase the doors lock themselves and leave the ignition on for minimum 30 minutes. the doors locks will go up and down twice when reset, then try starting it.

hope it helps.
