The Immobilizer System

When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it sends a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code doesn't match the code, the engine won't start.

They are able to test the operation of the system by logging into the CAN bus and reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.

However, even the most secure systems can be compromised when they are targeted correctly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to hack three cars including all models from the past. In ten seconds, the vehicle's security code was obtained from one of the vehicles. This data is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually they were.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key or Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on a chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.

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

The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use shifting or rolling security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the smart system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip in the key. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer checks the codes every time the ignition key is turned.

This is a sophisticated technology that's difficult to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. If your Peugeot starts and it shuts down and then restarts it's likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a range of electrical problems that are causing your car to stop working.
