The Immobilizer System

When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic signal to the engine management system. The engine won't start if the code isn't correct. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're having problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert automotive locksmith can help.

They will also visit your location so that you don't have to spend a lot of time in the dealership.

However, not all antitheft systems are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technologies to ensure that it is compliant with high safety standards. They can test the system's performance by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer's components and CAN bus traffic.

But even the best systems can be hacked if they are targeted properly. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to elude three vehicles which were all older models. It took only 10 seconds to get the security code of the vehicle from one of the vehicles. The information is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to crack however they did eventually be broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on the chip is identical to that of the car's system, then the car will begin to move.

This is an essential security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key the engine won't start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.

Modern cars come with modern electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use rolling/changing codes. This means that each time a key is used, the intelligent system changes the second code and pushes it into the chip inside the key. The first code stays in place when the key is turned in the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if the two codes match.

This is an extremely sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. It's also the reason why, if your Peugeot starts and then shuts off again, it's likely not the immobilizer. Instead, it could be one of many electrical issues causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths can help solve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll function again.

The Battery

The transponder chip found in Peugeot keys for cars when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser feature within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start and also allows the key fob to open the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a remote or manual key.
