It operates by sending a signal from your vehicle to your key when you attempt to start it.

If the codes do not coincide, your engine will stop immediately to stop theft.

When the fob or key are placed in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU then compares it to the code in its memory and activates the ignition system and fuel circuit if the two coincide. If the codes do not match, the engine will not start even when the ignition circuit has been short-circuited by a thief.
