They test the system's performance by analyzing the messages that are sent between the immobilizer's components as well as the CAN bus traffic.
Even the most robust systems can be vulnerable if targeted correctly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily crack 3 cars including all models from the past. Within ten seconds, a security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of them. The information is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to break however they did eventually become broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip which transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code in a chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer system the car will begin.
This is an important anti-theft feature that assists in preventing car thieves from hotwiring or otherwise bypassing the immobilizer system of the engine. If the immobilizer cannot recognize the key the engine will not start even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling/changing security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the smart system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. This is also the reason why the moment your Peugeot starts up and then stops working it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be several electrical issues that are causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths are able to help solve these issues.
