The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic code to the engine management system. If the code doesn't match the code, the engine won't start. This helps prevent theft of cars that are not authorized. If you're having problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert locksmith for automotive can assist.

However, not all antitheft systems are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they comply with high safety standards. They are able to test the performance of the system by accessing the CAN bus and reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.
But even the best systems can be compromised If they are targeted appropriately. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to elude three vehicles, all of them older models. It took just 10 seconds to extract the vehicle security code from one of the three. This data is used to generate a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to crack, but they did eventually get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the code in a chip matches the code in the immobilizer system of the car, the car will start.
This is a very important anti-theft device that blocks car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other method. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it won't permit the engine to turn on, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use changing or rolling codes. The intelligent system will change the second code each time the key is used, and then insert it into the chip of the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer is able to check the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars cannot be started. It's also the reason why, you might notice that if your Peugeot begins to start but it shuts off it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a number of electrical issues that are causing your car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can help resolve these problems.
