How your immobiliser system works on Suzuki Vitara

Before describing the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to show you the goal and operation of the immobilizer in your Suzuki Vitara. This electronic component was invented 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Suzuki Vitara. 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 Vitara will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will allow you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

The different alternatives to bypass the immobiliser on your Suzuki Vitara

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser

First procedure, your key no longer allows your Suzuki Vitara to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Suzuki Vitara, but first of all you should try this technique to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not perform a less significant procedure to restore the normal start of your automobile. In fact, with your automobile you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Suzuki Vitara), 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 automobile 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 entire code. This should allow your Suzuki Vitara to start without having to remove the immobiliser.

Repair your key at a key specialist or your car dealer

If in spite of a battery change, several attempts to enter the immobiliser code on your Suzuki Vitara still doesn’t work, it’s most likely your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser device from your Suzuki Vitara. In fact, your transponder must have been affected or must have fallen off your key. To resolve this problem, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your dealer who can restore your Suzuki Vitara 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 Suzuki Vitara.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be thinking to bypass the immobilizer from your Suzuki Vitara, this is not recommended at all for different reasons. First your Suzuki Vitara 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 realizes that the immobiliser on your Suzuki Vitara has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the process, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could benefit people with bad intentions.
