What is engine locking system: Nowadays the theft of vehicles has become a big headache. But, there is a great technology to keep your lovely car safe, which ‘Engine locking system’ Or ‘Imobilizer’ They say. This protects your car as if a security guard is guarding every moment!
What is this ‘engine locking system’?
This is a kind of safety feature that allows your car start with the right key only. No matter how much the thief tries, if he does not have the real key of your car which has a special chip, then the engine will not start.
Understand how this work does, in easy language:
-
Special key: The key of your car contains a small ‘transponder chip’. This chip has a unique code, such as your Aadhaar card number.
-
Car brain (ECU): In your car’s system, the computer (ECU) knows what the real code is.
-
Code exchange: When you put the key in the ignition or try to start the car, the system of the car ‘asks’ that unique code from the key chip.
-
Identification and beginning: If the code with a key chip matches the code stored in the car system, the system gives the green signal and the engine starts.
-
If the code is wrong or not: But if a thief uses another key or forced the ignition to break (hotwire), then the system of the car does not recognize the chip of the key. In this case, this system immediately cuts the engine power with fuel supply or ignition system. Meaning, the engine is not operational!
So, how does it protect it from thieves?
Because it is almost impossible for thieves to copy or break the real code of your key. Even if they open the door, break the lock of the steering wheel, but to start the engine, the necessary chip code will be required, which is only in your real key. Due to this, millions of vehicles are saved from being stolen every day.
It is a great relief for common car owners like you, as it plays an important role in keeping your precious car safe.
