What Are Transponder Chips?
ABC Locksmiths can help ensure your security and save you from headaches down the line by providing replacement transponder chips. These small chips, located inside key fobs, communicate with a vehicle to validate that the driver has an authentic key for their car or truck. Many new vehicles are now equipped with them, so it is essential to ensure that these chips are always in optimal working order. ABC Locksmiths will assist you in assessing the condition of your chip and provide any necessary recoding or replacements to ensure the chip is working effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a transponder chip and what does it do?
A transponder chip is a small electronic component inside many car keys that communicates with your vehicle’s immobiliser. If the correct signal isn’t detected, the car may crank but not start, or it may not start at all.
How do I know if my transponder chip is faulty?
Common signs include the car not starting even though the key turns, an immobiliser or security warning on the dash, intermittent starting problems, or a key that suddenly stops being recognised after being dropped or exposed to moisture.
Can you replace just the transponder chip instead of the entire key?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the key type and condition, we may be able to replace the chip and program it to the vehicle without needing to replace every part of the key.
Do you need the vehicle on-site to replace and program the chip?
Usually, yes. Programming typically needs the vehicle present so the immobiliser can be matched correctly. As a mobile service, we can come to your location in most situations.
If I have a spare key, can you copy the transponder chip information?
Often we can clone or program a new transponder from an existing working key, depending on the vehicle system and key type. We’ll confirm what’s possible after checking your make, model, and year.
What if I have no working keys at all?
We can often still help by generating and programming a new transponder key solution from scratch, but the process varies by vehicle. Let us know your details and we’ll advise the fastest option.
