The Immobilizer System

When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it transmits an electronic code to the engine management system. The engine will not start if the code isn't correct. This prevents unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for automotive can assist you if your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working. They can program a new or replacement key with tools that are common for dealers. This can save you time and money. You don't have to stand for long at the dealer because they will be there for you.

They can verify the system's operation by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer components and the CAN bus.

However, even the most secure systems can be compromised when they are targeted correctly. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol in order to stealthily crack three cars, all of them older models. In ten seconds, the security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of them. This information is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack however they did eventually get broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key with a chip (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it that transmits a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip matches that on the car's system, then the car will begin to move.

This is a crucial security feature that can stop car thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the immobilizer system of the engine. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't permit the engine to start, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars come with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use rolling/changing codes. The intelligent system can change the second code each time the key is used and insert it into key's chip. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is a highly sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars cannot be started. If your Peugeot starts but then shuts down, it is likely not the immobilizer. It could be several 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 to work once more.

The Battery

Peugeot car keys contain a transponder chip which, when utilized in conjunction with the vehicle, disarms the standard immobiliser system located within the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of the remote key or manual.

Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, mainly from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the peugeot 3008 key fob 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to draw sales from the more expensive 205s.

The 206 range comprises two doors: a hatchback, a coupe cabriolet, and the station wagon, which is known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
