How your immobiliser system functions on Kia Carens

Before describing the different alternatives available to you, here is a short intro to explain the goal and operation of the immobilizer in your Kia Carens. This electronic part appeared 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Kia Carens. 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 Kia Carens 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 enable you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this unit will work.

First process, your key no longer permits your Kia Carens to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Kia Carens, but first of all you should try this technique 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. In fact, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Kia Carens), 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, replicate the process until you have entered the full code. This should allow your Kia Carens to start without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
