The immobiliser

The immobiliser is among the most secure features in a Peugeot car. It is essentially a tiny glass chip concealed within the key to protect against theft of the vehicle through stopping the engine from turning on. The system is based on a complex algorithm and doesn't require any sort of battery to function. The system works by checking the coding on the chip every when the key is placed in the ignition barrel. The car will only start if it recognizes the chip. If not the chip is recognized, the fuel supply will be cut off, preventing the engine from running.

Peugeot keys are prone to wear and will eventually fail generally after five years. They are thrown, dropped and are hot, boiling and freezing cold frequently and this causes the electronic switches to wear out.

This is the most frequent problem with the Peugeot key and it will usually result in the vehicle not starting or displaying an 'Immobiliser Fault' message on the dashboard.
