Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is a built in anti-theft device that prevents you from opening your car without an ignition key. It works by matching a digital code stored in the key fob or key with a unique code embedded inside the vehicle's ECU. Once the codes match, the ECU will begin to activate the fuel system and ignition. If the codes do not match the car won't start if the fuel pump or ignition circuit is blocked.

Security System

Suzuki's are among the top-selling automobiles on Australian roads and they come with an inbuilt immobiliser system to prevent them being hot wired. When you use the ignition key to start your car, there's an embedded transponder chip which is a bit smaller than a PS1 coin - which transmits an individual code to the electronic control unit of the vehicle (ECU). If the ECU does not receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, your car won't start.

Suzuki dealers installed two different dealer-installed systems until 1996. The first was made by Advance Security.

If the chip on the new key does not match the one that is in your ECU it will not start. Auckland auto locksmiths can fix the issue fast and easily, even if it is a tricky one.

Keys

The majority of Suzukis come with a key that contains a microchip (transponder chip) which is less than a coin in your pocket.
