20 Things You Should Know About Suzuki Swift Key
Suzuki Swift Replacement Key

If you have lost your keys, go through the steps you took (including your coat and trousers pockets). You may have to be prepared to provide evidence of ownership, such as your vehicle registration or title.

If your car is older, it may have a transponder or smart key/fob which require programming to match the immobiliser system in the vehicle. That's why an automotive locksmith is useful.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock your car and then start it without having to insert the key into the lock. The system relies on radio signals that are sent from the vehicle and a key fob that searches for the signals. If the key fob falls in range of the radio signals, it transmits an encoded code that unlocks the door and disarms your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Some systems offer a remote-ignition feature that lets you start your car using the key fob or a button that is located on the dashboard. This feature is invaluable in times when you must go out to get groceries or if keys are accidentally locked inside.

Convenience is the most obvious benefit. You'll have access to your car without having wander around in the dark with your key which isn't easy when you're carrying a lot of things. This system can be used to open the trunk and hatch which is great if you are hauling tons of cargo.

If your keyless entry or push-button starts aren't working it could be because of an issue with your key fob battery. If this is the cause it is usually evident by looking for an option on the back of the key fob which you can press. If this doesn't work it could be necessary to bring your vehicle to a professional dealer or locksmith to have the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is an inbuilt anti-theft device that prevents you from opening your car without an ignition key. It works by matching the digital code in the key or key fob with a specific code that is embedded in the vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match, the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes don't match, your car will not start if the fuel pump or ignition is blocked.

The Immobiliser is effective in preventing most thieves from using hot wires or starting your vehicle however, it's not foolproof. Criminals who are determined can defeat it. It is essential to take other security measures such as hiding valuables and avoiding leaving them in the car when you're away.

A faraday pouch is another security measure. G28 Car Keys blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it difficult for criminals and thieves to copy and intercept the signal. The latest Suzuki models also have a second security measure that requires the key to be placed near the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these precautions the modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks from expert criminals. In one study conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to steal three vehicles that were popular and then crack the immobiliser in less than six minutes by exploiting known weaknesses in the system.

Security System

Suzuki's are amongst the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. They also come with an inbuilt immobiliser system to avoid being hot wired. If you use the key to start your car, it has an embedded transponder chip slightly smaller than the PS1 coin - that transmits an individual code to the vehicles electronic control unit (ECU). If the ECU does not receive this code when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your vehicle will not start.

In the years prior to 1996, Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed systems. The first system was produced by Advance Security. The original keyfob featured the Suzuki logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob has been removed, but a two-button Hellfire remote (also made by Advance Security) is still available for purchase at Remotes Unlimited.

After 2000 the new Suzukis are equipped with a factory-installed key lock system. The system comes with an immobiliser integrated into. The key is fitted with tiny chips that act as a transponder. It is hidden under the cap of a plastic. The chip contains a complex code that the vehicle's ECU searches for when you turn the key in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match the one that is in your ECU, the car will not start. Auckland auto locksmiths can solve the issue quickly and cost-effectively even if the issue is a tricky one.

Keys

The majority of Suzukis come with keys that have a microchip (transponder chip) which is smaller than a coin in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your car reads the code from this chip, and if it doesn't match, it will not start. If you lose your key and don't have a spare, you'll need an auto locksmith who has the right equipment to replace it.


I supply and program two or three Suzuki transponder keys and smart key fobs every week, and they are simple to do. If you've lost all of your keys, you will have to visit your locksmith or dealer with a decent diagnostic tool, because they will need to program the replacement to your vehicle. Suzuki dealers may take up to a week to complete this procedure. Auto Locksmiths have this equipment for coding and can do it much quicker and cheaper. This is not the case for non-transponder steel keys, which don't require codes.
