How your immobiliser system works on Ford Taurus

Before describing the different solutions available to you, here is a short intro to explain the role and operation of the immobilizer in your Ford Taurus. This electronic element was invented 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Ford Taurus. In fact, 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 Taurus will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one expected 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 device will work.
