Transponder Chip A transponder, also referred to as”chip-key,” also known as “chip-key,” is a feature that helps prevent theft from your car's ignition.

When you insert a lock with the transponder chip within your ignition, it transmits an electronic signal to a small antenna ring in your car's engine. The engine control unit (ECU), which controls the car will then confirm that this coded signal came from the original keys. If the ECU does not receive this message it will remain unlocked and locked. It's similar to the way military planes utilize codes to identify themselves on radar.

A cylinder for locking doors consists of a tube made of metal that holds a bolt. The bolt extends from the cylinder and locks the door. It also engages a series of pins that are spring-loaded to keep the cylinder from rotating. When a key is inserted into a lock, the notches in the key push each of the pins to a height that is compatible with their position within the cylinder's housing. When all the pins are in their proper position, they create a straight line, called a shear line. This prevents the cylinder from rotating and the bolt from moving and locking the door. To reset car key mazda , press the lock and unlock button on the key fob simultaneously for about 60 seconds. This resets the sensor and permits the doors, the fuel-fill lid and liftgate to lock automatically once the ignition switch is switched off.

The warning lights and horns blink to confirm that the automatic lock function has been turned on.
