How your immobiliser system functions on Fiat Scudo
Before detailing the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to show you the goal and functions of the immobilizer in your Fiat Scudo. This electronic part came out 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Fiat Scudo. 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 Fiat Scudo will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will permit you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.
The different possibilities to bypass the immobiliser on your Fiat Scudo
Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First technique, your key no longer allows your Fiat Scudo to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Fiat Scudo, but first of all you should try this approach to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not perform a less important process to restore 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 Fiat Scudo), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains 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 validate the digit and resume, duplicate the process until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Fiat Scudo without having to remove the immobiliser.
Repair your key at a key specialist or your car dealer
If despite a battery swap, different attempts to enter the immobiliser code on your Fiat Scudo still doesn’t want to start, it’s likely your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser system from your Fiat Scudo. Actually, your transponder must have been affected or must have fallen off your key. To correct this issue, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your car dealership who can fix your Fiat Scudo key. Determined by who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a copy or your “code card” and about 350 euros at your car dealership if you have no support and you want a new functional key, it will avoid you having to remove the immobilizer from your Fiat Scudo.
Manually remove your immobilizer
Although you may be tempted to bypass the immobilizer from your Fiat Scudo, this is not advised at all for some reasons. First your Fiat Scudo would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. Actually, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to start it. In addition to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it finds out that the immobiliser on your Fiat Scudo has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some internet pages still give the technique, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could help people with bad intentions.
