Q
how do engine immobilisers work
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine immobilizers are security systems integrated into the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to prevent unauthorized engine start. They operate using a unique code embedded in the vehicle's key fob. When the key is inserted into the ignition or brought within proximity (for keyless systems), the immobilizer reads the key's code. If the code matches the one stored in the vehicle's ECU, the immobilizer disengages, allowing the engine to start. If the code does not match, the immobilizer prevents fuel delivery and spark generation, rendering the engine inoperable. This technology significantly reduces vehicle theft, as the engine cannot be started without the specific, coded key. Over the years, immobilizers have evolved to become more sophisticated, including encryption and rolling codes to thwart hacking attempts, further enhancing vehicle security.
