How your immobiliser system works on Mitsubishi Eclipse

Before describing the different alternatives available to you, here is a short introduction to show you the intent and operation of the immobilizer in your Mitsubishi Eclipse. This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Mitsubishi Eclipse. 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is actually the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will let you turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.

First technique, your key no longer permits your Mitsubishi Eclipse to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Mitsubishi Eclipse, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not perform a less significant operation to reestablish 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse), 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 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 operation until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Mitsubishi Eclipse without having to remove the immobiliser.

Repair your key at a key specialist or your car dealership

If despite a battery change, different attempts to enter the immobiliser code on your Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 device from your Mitsubishi Eclipse. In fact, your transponder must have been injured or must have fallen off your key. To resolve this trouble, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your dealer who can repair your Mitsubishi Eclipse key. Based on who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a duplicate or your “code card” and about 350 euros at your dealer if you have no support and you want a new functional key, it will avoid you having to remove the immobilizer from your Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be thinking to bypass the immobilizer from your Mitsubishi Eclipse, this is not advised at all for different reasons. First your Mitsubishi Eclipse would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. In fact, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to turn your car on. Additionally to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it acknowledges that the immobiliser on your Mitsubishi Eclipse has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the methodology, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could help people with bad intentions.
