Suzuki Swift Replacement Key

If you've lost your keys, the first step is to go back to where you left off (coat and trouser pockets included). You may be asked to provide evidence of ownership, for example your registration or title for your vehicle.

Then, if your vehicle is recent, it may have an transponder chip or smart key/fob that needs programming to match the immobiliser in the vehicle. A locksmith in the automotive industry can assist.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock and start your vehicle without having to insert a key in the lock. The system works by using radio signals that are emitted from the vehicle. It also includes the key fob searches for the signals. If the fob is within the range of these signals, it sends back an encrypted code that opens the doors, and also disables the vehicle's standard immobiliser system located in the engine control unit (ECU).

Certain systems also include remote ignition, which allows you to start your vehicle with the key fob or a button on the dashboard panel. This feature is extremely useful in times when you must go out and get groceries or when keys are locked inside.

It's the most obvious benefit. You can enter your car without having to search for your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you are carrying lots of things. You can even unlock the hatch or trunk with this system, which is perfect for those who are hauling heavy items.

If your keyless start or entry doesn't work it could be due to the battery in your key fob. If this is the reason you'll be able to tell by looking for an option on the back of the key fob which you can press. If this doesn't work, you may have to take your vehicle to a professional locksmith or dealer to have the key fob programed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is an built-in security system that prevents your vehicle from starting without a key. It works by matching the digital code in the key or key fob with a unique code stored in the vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match then the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match then your car will not start when the fuel pump is not working or ignition circuit is blocked.

While the Immobiliser can stop most thieves from stealing hot-wiring and starting your vehicle, it's not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. It's important to take other measures, like keeping valuables safe and not putting them in the car when you are away.

Another method of security is to make use of a faraday pouch which will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronic systems and make it impossible for criminals to intercept and replicate the signal. Suzuki's newer models include an additional security measure that requires that the key be placed near the ignition when it is turned on.

Despite these precautions even today, modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks from expert criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the University of Amsterdam, tried to steal three vehicles of a popular brand and then crack the immobiliser in six minutes using known vulnerabilities.

Security System

Suzukis are among the most popular cars on Australian roads. They are equipped with a factory-installed immobiliser to stop them from being hot-wired. The key has a tiny transponder chip similar to one PS1 penny, which transmits an exclusive code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU does not receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, your car will not start.

Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed system up to the year 1996. The first system was produced by Advance Security. The original keyfob displayed the suzuki key car logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob has been discontinued, but a 2-button Hellfire remote (also made by Advance Security) is still available and is available at Remotes Unlimited.

After 2000, all new Suzukis come with a key-lock feature that is installed by the factory. This lock has an immobiliser in the. The key is fitted with tiny chips that act as a transponder. It is hidden beneath a plastic cap. The chip is a source of information that the ECU of the vehicle is looking for when the key is placed in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key doesn't coincide with the one in your ECU it will not start. This issue is a bit tricky to fix however our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to fix it quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys

Most suzuki keys cars are fitted with a key equipped with the microchip (transponder chip) inside. It is smaller than the coin that is in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your vehicle reads the code from the chip and if it doesn't match, it will not start. If you lose your key and don't have a spare you will require an auto locksmith that is equipped to replace it.

I program and supply two or three Suzuki sx4 key fob programming transponder keys and smart key fobs per week. They are easy to do. But if you have lost all of your keys, you'll have to visit your locksmith or dealer equipped with a diagnostic device because they'll need to code the new replacement to your vehicle. This process could take as long as a week for genuine suzuki smart key dealers. Auto Locksmiths are equipped with this coding equipment and are able to do it much quicker and less expensive. This is not the case for non-transponder steel keys, which don't need coding.
