IMMOBILIZER /ANTI-THEFT
How does an Engine Immobilizer Work?
The automobile key that is officially delivered or provided by dealers is equipped with a security system. Today, every vehicle comes with a smart key that consists of transponder chips. These chips work as messengers, transmitting signals of a digitally coded unique number to the engine management system. The match of the same ignites the engine allowing mobilization of the automobile.
If the key put into the ignition is not the authorized one then the vehicle’s engine immobilizer gets activated preventing the start of the engine.
How does an Engine Immobilizer Work?
A two-tier security system, the Advanced Engine Immobilizer System contains two codes. The first code is permanent. The second code would change every time the key ignites the engine, and the vehicle becomes mobile.
The second code is reversely communicated to the smart key and is stored until it is changed again by the system.
When the driver starts the vehicle the engine immobilizer primarily reads the first code followed by the second. If the second code mismatches or ignition of the engine circuit is tried through short circuiting, the immobilizer system would be instantly activated.
What Does an Engine Immobilizer Do?
Researches indicate that engine immobilizers have reduced car theft by 40% as the smart anti-theft security system does not allow motor vehicles to run until the authorized key is presented to start the vehicle.
