The Immobilizer System

When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it transmits an electronic message to the engine management system. The engine won’t start in the event that the code isn’t correct. This prevents unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for automotive can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer isn’t working.

Not all antitheft devices are created to be the same. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they adhere to the highest safety standards. They are able to test the operation of the system by logging into the CAN bus and then reading messages that the components of an immobilizer exchange.

Even the best systems can be vulnerable if targeted in the right way. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to stealthily crack three cars which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle security code was retrieved from one of them. This data is used to create keys that disable the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to crack but they did get broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it which transmits a code to the car’s immobilizer system. If the code on the chip is identical to that on 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 method. If the immobilizer doesn’t recognize the key it will not be turned on if anyone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars come with modern electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use rolling/changing codes. This means that every time a key is used, the smart system alters the second code and inserts it into the chip within the key. The first code stays in place, and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if they are compatible.

This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles aren’t able to be started. If your Peugeot begins to run but then stops, it is likely not the immobilizer. Instead, it could be a myriad of electrical issues that are causing the car to not work.

The Battery

Peugeot car keys contain transponder chips which, when coupled with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser mechanism of the vehicle located within the ECU (engine control unit). This enables the vehicle to start and also allows key fob operation of the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of the remote key or manual.

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot’s 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205 but it was designed to be a bridge between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were developed to take sales from the higher-end 205s.

The 206 range comprises three models which include an open-air hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of the 206 that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
