Wont start up, but i noticed that the security light still flashes even when I've opened the doors and trying to start the engine.. would that be a immobilizer problem?

Hiya, i had this on my old IS200, the security light just flashes and the car just cranks and cranks but doesn't turn over. 

I think the way I sorted this was to disconnected the Battery and leave for half hour. Reconnect the Battery and try cranking the car over again. I done this and my car started. I hope you have luck doing the same.

Yes, if the security lights doesn't go out you are wasting your time cranking the engine - it will not fire.

 ***UPDATE SOLVED***: So i initially thought it was fuel cut off switch, it wasn't. Then i noticed that on my dashboard the security light was still flashing even when i was inside the car and the key was in the ignition. After looking at every possible problem that it could be, it ended up being down to a tiny yellow(20) fuse in the fuse box, changed it over and the security light went off and the car started up. < (This had me nearly tearing my hair out) THANK GOD. Thanks everyone anyway.
