How your immobiliser system functions on Chevrolet Silverado
Before describing the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to demonstrate the role and functions of the immobilizer in your Chevrolet Silverado. This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Chevrolet Silverado. Actually, 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 Silverado will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one required by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will let you start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.
The different alternatives to bypass the immobiliser on your Chevrolet Silverado
Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First process, your key no longer allows your Chevrolet Silverado to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Chevrolet Silverado, but first of all you should try this procedure to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not execute a less significant process to reestablish the normal start of your vehicle. Actually, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Chevrolet Silverado), 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 vehicle 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, repeat the process until you have entered the whole code. This should enable you to start your Chevrolet Silverado without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
