Immobilizer System
When you plug the key into the ignition it transmits an identification code to the receiver in the car. If the ID code matches that in its memory, the car's computer allows the engine start. If the ID code doesn't match, an immobilizer is activated, which stops the car from beginning.
This technology isn't 100% secure however, it can be effective even in the event you lose your keys. It is possible to "hack" an anti-theft system that uses radio waves. A thief could use an aerial antenna to detect the signal and then spoof it to tell the car that the key is present.
To avoid this, experts are working on more secure systems. Some offer WiFi connectivity with undetectable installation as well as pin code entry through dashboard buttons. The Keylab has developed a system of grading, approval and approval to assist buyers in comparing the various products.
If you're worried about the anti-theft system in your vehicle, replacing the battery is the simplest thing to do. You can locate the right replacement by looking up the owner's guide. Fuses are another possible cause and should be checked on a regular basis. If one blows up, a replacement can be easily located at an auto parts store.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key has an iron blade that can be used to open the lock cylinders on the ignition of your vehicle and doors. The key fob is equipped with hardware that connects to the Smart Access system of your car, as well as a push-button for starting. While your key fob is made to last for a long duration, everyday use and exposure to weather elements could cause it to fail sooner than you would expect.
