This electronic part came out 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Mazda 2. 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 Mazda 2 will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one required by your immobilization box.
