If you've lost your keys, begin to follow the steps (coat and trouser pockets included). You might be asked to show evidence of ownership, such as your registration or title for your vehicle.

Then, if your vehicle is newer, it will come with an transponder chip or smart key/fob that needs programming to match the immobiliser in the vehicle. This is where an automotive locksmith comes in handy.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is a feature that allows you to unlock and start your car without needing to insert a key into the lock. The system works by using radio signals that emanate from the vehicle and the key fob searches for the signals. When the key fob comes within range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back that unlocks the door and disables the car's standard immobiliser, which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems also include remote ignition that lets you start your car with the key fob or a button on the dashboard panel. This feature can be a lifesaver in the event that you need to run out for groceries or your keys get locked in the car.

It's the most obvious benefit. You can access your car without having to search for your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you're carrying lots of things. This system can be used to open the trunk and hatch and is a great option if you are hauling lots of cargo.

If your keyless entry or push-button starts aren't working there may be an issue with the key fob battery. You can usually tell whether this is the case by checking the back of your key fob and looking for a button that you can push to pop it open. If this fails, you may need to take your car to a professional locksmith or dealer to get the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is a built-in security system that prevents your vehicle from starting without a key. It works by matching the digital code on the key fob or the key to the unique code contained in the vehicle's ECU. If these codes match to each other, the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match, the fuel pump and ignition circuit will be shut down and your car won't start.

While the Immobiliser does stop a majority of thieves from hot-wiring or starting your car, it's not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. This is why it's crucial to take other, more sensible precautions in mind, such as keeping valuables out of view and avoiding leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.

Another option for security is to utilize a faraday pouch which will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronics and make it impossible for criminals to intercept and copy the signal. The latest Suzuki models also have an additional security feature that requires the key to be positioned close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these measures even today, modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks by skilled criminals. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag aimed to steal three popular cars and cracked the immobiliser in less than six minutes using known flaws in the system.

Security System

Suzukis are some of the most well-known vehicles on Australian roads. They have a factory-installed immobiliser that prevents them from being hot-wired. Whenever you use the key to start your car, there's a transponder chip inside it that is smaller than a PS1 coin that sends a unique code to your 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.

Suzuki dealers installed two different dealer-installed systems until 1996. The first was manufactured by Advance Security. The original keyfob used for this system was marked with the Suzuki brand on the front and FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob has no longer been available, but Remotes Unlimited still has a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also made by Advance Security).

After 2000, all new Suzukis will come equipped with a key-lock system from the factory that has a built in immobiliser. The key has a tiny transponder embedded under a plastic head. The chip is packed with a complicated code that the car's ECU will look for when you turn the key in the ignition barrel. If the chip in the new key isn't compatible with the one in the ECU it won't start. The issue can be difficult to repair but our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to do it quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys

Most Suzukis are equipped with a key that contains an embedded microchip (transponder chip) which is less than a coin in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition the ECU in your vehicle reads the code from the chip. If the code doesn't match, the car will not start.
