Did you insert your vehicle key into the lock, but even though it seems to fit fine like always, the vehicle won’t start? You may have a transponder key that is in need of reprogramming. Don’t let this news frustrate you, however. Morton Grove Locksmith offers a slew of affordable automotive locksmith services, including transponder key programming, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for drivers in the Morton, Illinois area.
Transponder keys are so named because they each feature an electronic microchip in the head of the key that acts as an antitheft device to link the key to the vehicle. Your vehicle’s ignition system needs to be able to recognize the key via a unique numerical code sent by the microchip when you insert the key into the lock to start the vehicle. If the ignition does not read the correct code, or if no code is thrown at all, then the engine’s immobilizer will remain engaged, meaning that the engine will not start up.
Transponder keys can rarely lose their programming, usually for no apparent cause. Since they run on radio frequency signals, if you operate your vehicle in an area with a lot of radio frequency interference, that’s one potential way that your key’s programming can get scrambled. If you have a duplicate of your car key made, it will need to be programmed by a professional in order to use it with your vehicle.
Not everyone is aware that certain qualified locksmiths are capable of copying their transponder chip keys. Our locksmith company has the same machinery to program the dealership, but we offer this service 24/7 at a fraction of the price.
