When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. The engine won't start in the event that the code isn't right. This prevents unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for cars can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working. They can employ tools from dealers to program a brand new key or replace your old one. This can save you time and money. They will also be there for you, so you don't have to wait long at the dealership.
However, not all antitheft systems are made equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technology to ensure that it complies with the highest safety standards. They can test the performance of the system by logging into the CAN bus network and analyzing messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.
Even the most robust systems are vulnerable if they're targeted in the right way. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to elude three vehicles which were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the security code of a vehicle from one of them. This information is used to create keys that disable the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break however they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that sends the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the chip's code matches that of the car's system the car will start.
This is an important security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer cannot recognize the key it will not start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use changing codes that roll. This means that every time a key is used, the system changes the second code and pushes it into the chip inside the key. The first code remains in place and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if the two codes match.
This is a sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. It's the reason that most stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. If your Peugeot starts and then stops, it is likely not the immobilizer. There could be a myriad of electrical issues 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 work once more.
The Battery
The transponder chip that is found in Peugeot keys for cars, when used with the vehicle is able to disable the standard immobiliser feature within the ECU. This enables the vehicle to start and also allows key fob access to the doors and boot. The chip is hidden in the head of a manual or remote key.
When the 206 first came out in 1999, Peugeot was facing fierce competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the higher top 205s.
The 206 model range includes an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, as well as an a-station wagon referred to as the 206 SW and CC respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach the speed of 210 km/h.
