How your immobiliser system works on Suzuki Alto

Before explaining the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to describe the role and operation of the immobilizer in your Suzuki Alto. This electronic component appeared 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Suzuki Alto. 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 Suzuki Alto will go each time you place 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 turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

First process, your key no longer enables your Suzuki Alto to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Suzuki Alto, but first of all you should try this procedure to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not perform a less important process to bring back 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 Suzuki Alto), 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, replicate the process until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Suzuki Alto without having to remove the immobiliser.

Fix your key at a key specialist or your car dealer

If even though a battery change, several tries to enter the immobiliser code on your Suzuki Alto still doesn’t work, it’s probably your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser device from your Suzuki Alto. In fact, your transponder must have been damaged or must have fallen off your key. To fix this issue, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your dealer who can fix your Suzuki Alto key.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your Suzuki Alto, this is not recommended at all for several reasons. First your Suzuki Alto would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. In fact, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to start it. In addition to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it acknowledges that the immobiliser on your Suzuki Alto has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some websites online still give the method, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could benefit people with bad intentions.
