How your immobiliser system works on Chevrolet Cruze

Before detailing the different solutions available to you, here is a short intro to show you the goal and functions of the immobilizer in your Chevrolet Cruze. This electronic element was invented 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Chevrolet Cruze. Indeed, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) included in the key, and, a immobilisation control box included in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Chevrolet Cruze will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is actually the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will enable you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

The different possibilities to bypass the immobiliser on your Chevrolet Cruze

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser

First process, your key no longer allows your Chevrolet Cruze to start, you want to disable the immobiliser of your Chevrolet Cruze, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not do a less important process to reestablish the normal start of your car. Indeed, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Chevrolet Cruze), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it includes the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your car by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to confirm the digit and resume, replicate the process until you have entered the entire code. This should let you start your Chevrolet Cruze without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your Chevrolet Cruze, this is not recommended at all for different reasons. First your Chevrolet Cruze would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. Indeed, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to turn your car on.

This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the method, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could help people with bad intentions.
