How your immobiliser system works on Tesla Model Y

Before explaining the different alternatives available to you, here is a short intro to demonstrate the goal and functions of the immobilizer in your Tesla Model Y. This electronic element came out 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Tesla Model Y. 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 Tesla Model Y will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will enable you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

First procedure, your key no longer permits your Tesla Model Y to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Tesla Model Y, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not accomplish a less significant operation to restore the normal start of your car. In fact, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Tesla Model Y), 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 car 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, repeat the operation until you have entered the full code. This should allow your Tesla Model Y to start without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
