If you’ve never heard of a transponder key before, you may be wondering what exactly this form of security entails. The term transponder refers to the microchip that is the main feature of this type of vehicle key. Transponder stands for transmitter and responder, and refers to the radio communication that these chips use to communicate with your car’s computer. When you insert your key into the ignition, in just a second or two, the chip sends an encoded signal to your vehicle’s ignition system. If this code matches the one that your car or truck is programmed with, then the engine’s immobilizer will immediately disengage and your engine will then fire up. You probably are never even aware of this process of events, until something goes wrong.
Transponder keys can require programming or reprogramming for many different reasons. Maybe you have a new spare key that you need programmed, or your vehicle key’s programming has somehow become scrambled or wiped. This happens more often than you may realize. It’s rare but it does happen, and in these cases, it requires fast attention.
