15 Surprising Facts About Suzuki Swift Key

Suzuki Swift Replacement Key

If you have lost your keys, follow the steps you took (including your pants and coat pockets). You may be asked to show proof of ownership, like your vehicle's title or registration.

If your car is more recent, it will have an transponder chip or smart key/fob which needs programming to match the immobiliser in the vehicle. That's why an automotive locksmith can come in handy.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and start it without the need to insert your key into the lock. This system makes use of radio waves that are emitted by the vehicle and a keyfob that is searching for the signals. If the fob is within the range of these signals, it sends an encoded code that unlocks the doors and disarms the vehicle's immobiliser system located within the engine control unit (ECU).

Certain systems also include remote ignition features that allows you to start your vehicle with the key fob or an on the dashboard panel. This feature could save your life if you have to run out for groceries, or if your keys are locked inside the car.

The most obvious benefit of keyless entry is the convenience. You can access your car without having to fumble with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you are carrying loads. This system can be used to open the trunk and hatch which is great if you are hauling loads of stuff.

If your keyless start or entry doesn't work it could be due to the battery inside your key fob. You can usually tell if this is the case by checking the back of your key fob to see an option to open it. If this doesn't help, you may have to take your vehicle to an expert locksmith or dealer to have the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is a built-in anti-theft device which stops you from starting your car without a key. It works by comparing the digital code in the key or key fob with a specific code that is embedded in the vehicle's ECU. If the codes match the ECU will start the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes don't match the fuel pump or ignition circuit will be blocked and your car won't start.

While the Immobiliser will stop thieves from hot-wiring your vehicle, it's not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. It's important to take other precautions, such as keeping valuables secure and not putting them in the car when you are away.

A faraday pouch is another security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it much more difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and intercept the signal. The latest suzuki keys models also feature an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition when turning it on.

Modern immobilisers remain vulnerable to attack by criminals with advanced capabilities despite these measures. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to rob three popular cars and cracked the immobiliser in just six minutes using known weaknesses in the system.

Security System

Suzukis are among the most coveted vehicles on Australian roads. They have a factory-installed immobiliser that prevents them from being hot-wired. The key is equipped with tiny transponder chips, about the size of one PS1 penny, which transmits an unique code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU does not receive this code, when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your car will not start.

Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed systems until 1996. The first was manufactured by Advance Security. The original keyfob had the suzuki swift key logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 at the back. The original keyfob is no more available, but Remotes Unlimited still has a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also made by Advance Security).

After 2000 the new Suzukis are equipped with a factory-installed key-lock system. This lock has an immobiliser integrated into. The key is equipped with tiny chips that function as transponder. It is hidden under the cap made of plastic. The chip contains a complex code that the car's ECU searches for when you turn the key in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match the one that is in your ECU and the car does not start, it will not start. The issue could be quite difficult to solve but our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to fix it swiftly and easily.

Keys

The majority of Suzukis come with keys that have a microchip inside (transponder chip), which is smaller than a coin in your pocket. When you insert the key into the ignition barrel of your car and the ECU reads the code from the chip. If it does not match, your car won't start. If you have lost your key and don't have a spare in your possession, you will need an auto locksmith who has the appropriate equipment to replace it.

It is simple to program Suzuki transponder key fobs as well as smart keys. But if you have lost all of your keys, you'll require a visit to your dealer or a locksmith with decent diagnostic equipment as they will need to program the new replacement to your vehicle. This process can take as long as a week for genuine suzuki key car dealers. Auto Locksmiths can code keys quicker and less expensive because they are equipped with the equipment. This is not the case for non-transponder keys that do not require the use of coding.
