Peugeot Planet will tell you if the immo is active or inactive sat there with the key in the ignition to start with.
So that is already telling you if the immo is working or not.
If it says the immo isn't deactivated then trying to fix it via PP may prove difficult if the issue is a mechanical one (ie, loom split, multi-plug disturbed etc)
I'm not sure of the start to fix while running a global scan and fixes immo issues. If it were that easy to avoid the immo it'd be a slightly flawed system. Ie, to clone a key using PP you need to have an original working key as a base, so I'd be surprised if simply starting the car during a global scan would essentially 're-program' your key to the car/immo code!
I've heard of this issue before on a 306 HDi though, Idnan over on Pug306 changed a front strut on his car and during the work gave the car a good few knocks around that area. His car wouldn't start or run properly.
After many weeks it turned out his ECU > immo wire had split inside the insulation and caused a faulty/failed immo signal from his ignition barrel loop to the ECU.
So I'd check immo functionality at all via PP, if the immo isn't turning off when the key is present at the ignition then I'd be very tempted to check mechanical issues first!
