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. If the code does not match, the engine will not start.

They can test the effectiveness of the system by logging into the CAN bus and reading messages that the immobilizer components exchange.

However, even the most secure security systems can be hacked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to hack into three cars which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle security code was retrieved from one of them. This data is then used to create a functioning key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to crack, but they did eventually become broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key with a chip (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip inside that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to that of the car's system the car will begin to move.

This is an important security feature that can stop thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it will not allow the engine to turn on even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use shifting or rolling codes. This means that every time a key is used, the smart system changes the second code and inserts it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is a highly sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's why most stolen cars cannot be started. If your Peugeot begins to run but then shuts down, it is likely not the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical problems that are the reason your car isn't working.
