How your immobiliser system works on Ford Kuga

Before describing the different alternatives available to you, here is a short intro to describe the purpose and operation of the immobilizer in your Ford Kuga. This electronic component was invented 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Ford Kuga. Actually, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) integrated in the key, and, a immobilisation control box integrated in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Ford Kuga will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will enable you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.

First methodology, your key no longer permits your Ford Kuga to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Ford Kuga, but first of all you should try this technique to start it and take it to a garage verify that you can not accomplish a less significant procedure to bring back the normal start of your car. Actually, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Ford Kuga), 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 procedure until you have entered the full code. This should enable you to start your Ford Kuga without having to remove the immobiliser.
