Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is switched on, the chip sends a code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If the ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer will be disabled and the engine is started.
