Certain models require that the transponder chip contained in the key be changed to function with the immobiliser of the car. The Lexus models employ different methods to program these chips. This is accomplished by using a specific device that transmits a specific code to the chip to unlock the doors or to start the engine.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips can be found in keys of nearly all new vehicles manufactured after 1995. They can be used to disarm immobiliser systems. The head of a key that is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal a metallic L-shaped key. Having a replacement key or fob made of transponder chips is a multi-stage process that includes precise cutting of the replacement keys and programming the transponder chip to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

A transponder is a type of chip that has Non-Volatile Memory. It contains a set windings which are fine wires that are wrapped around the tube. They look similar to those in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car will read. If the code is correct the car will start.

There are two kinds of transponder chips. The one is known as the 80-bit, while the second is known as the circle + (General Motors). The first is reusable but needs to be unlocked by a special machine to function in a compatible vehicle. The second one is more difficult to use since the older ones could be damaged, drilled or toss out when keycases are changed. They can be salvaged, however and used with a service key that doesn't need a battery to function.

Immobiliser Systems

Immobiliser systems are electronic security measures which prevent thieves from starting up your car. It operates by sending a signal from your vehicle to the key when you attempt to start it. The electronic chip in your key responds by sending a unique code which must match the one in the vehicle to start. If the codes do not coincide, your engine will shut down immediately to stop theft.

Modern smart keys and fobs feature embedded transponder chips that stores electronic security in a format that can't be duplicated. When your fob or key is installed in the ignition it transmits the code to a receiver inside the ECU. The ECU is then able to compare it with the code stored in its memory and activates the fuel system and ignition circuit if they match. If the codes don't match, the engine won't be able to start - even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
