Transponder chips are mini-circuits inside your key that communicate with the car's immobilizer. When you turn the key in the ignition, the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches with that stored in the BCM memory, the immobilizer will be turned off and the engine will be able to start. If the ID code doesn't match, the security lamp will be lit and your vehicle won't be able to start.
