The Immobilizer System
When you turn and insert your Peugeot key, it sends an electronic code to the engine control system. The engine won't start if the code is not correct. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. An expert automotive locksmith can assist you if your Peugeot immobilizer is not working. They can program a replacement or new key using tools that are used for dealers. This can save you time and money. You don't have to stand long at the dealership because they will come to you.
However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are made equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and evaluates them to ensure they comply with high safety standards. They can test the effectiveness 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 conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to hack three cars that were all older models. In a matter of ten seconds, the security code of the vehicle was retrieved from one of the vehicles. This information is then used to create a functioning key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to break, but they did eventually get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip inside that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code matches the one on the car's system, then the car will start.
This is an essential security measure to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key, the engine will not turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use changing or rolling security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code and pushes it into the chip within 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 hard to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. It's also the reason that when your Peugeot starts and then stops working, it's likely not the immobilizer. It could be a range of electrical issues the reason your car isn't working. Our auto locksmiths can help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key to work once more.
The Battery
The transponder chip inside Peugeot car keys when paired with the vehicle disables the immobiliser feature within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob access to the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a remote or manual key.
Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 was introduced in 1999, coming from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to take sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 model range includes three models which include an open-air hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds and attain a top speed up to 210 km/h.
The peugeot 206 is a sought-after choice of car for those seeking a stylish and affordable family car. But, like all vehicles, issues may arise and these can cause an inability for the car to start or the key fob to stop working. If this is the situation for you, we can help you make arrangements for a Peugeot car key replacement from one of our Auckland based locksmiths.
