How your immobiliser system works on Peugeot 309
Before describing the different solutions available to you, here is a short introduction to describe the purpose and operation of the immobilizer in your Peugeot 309. This electronic element was invented 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Peugeot 309. 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 Peugeot 309 will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one required 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 system will work.

In fact, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Peugeot 309), 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 confirm the digit and resume, replicate the procedure until you have entered the whole code. This should enable you to start your Peugeot 309 without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
Although you may be tempted to bypass the immobilizer from your Peugeot 309, this is not recommended at all for several reasons.
