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 will not start when the code isn't correct. This stops theft of vehicles from unauthorized people. An expert locksmith can assist you if your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working.

The Immobilizer Chip

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

This is an important anti-theft measure that prevents car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer cannot recognize the key the engine won't be turned on if anyone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling or changing security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code every time the key is used, and then insert it into the chip of 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 is very difficult to hack. This is why most stolen vehicles can't be powered up. It's also the reason that when your Peugeot starts and it shuts off it's not likely to be the immobilizer. There could be a myriad of electrical problems that are causing your car to stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths can resolve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key to function again.
