The Immobilizer System

When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. The engine will not start if the code is not right. This prevents unauthorized car theft.

Not all antitheft devices created in the same way. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grade them to ensure that they meet high safety standards. They can test the operation of the system by accessing CAN bus traffic and reading messages that the components of an immobilizer exchange.

But even the best systems can be compromised if they are targeted properly. In one study, researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol in order to elude three vehicles, all of them older models. It took only 10 seconds to get the security code of a vehicle from one of the vehicles. The information is then used to create a functioning key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break, but they did eventually be broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code in a chip matches that of the immobilizer system of the car, the car will begin.

This is an important anti-theft device that blocks 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 a person attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.

Modern cars come with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use changing or rolling codes. This means that each time a key is used, the system alters the second code, and then pushes it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is an extremely sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars can't be started. If your Peugeot starts but then stops it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be a range of electrical issues that are the reason your car isn't 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 in Peugeot car keys when used in conjunction with the vehicle will disable the immobiliser system in the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start and it also allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is concealed in the head of the remote key or manual key.

When the 206 was launched in 1999, Peugeot was facing fierce competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both Peugeot 306 and 106 were developed to draw sales from the more expensive 205s.

The 206 range comprises a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and the station wagon, which is known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had the top speed of 210 km/h.
