Ghost Immobiliser Problems The Ghost immobiliser is a security device that can stop car theft. It makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, door panels, and centre console to generate a unique pin code sequence that blocks your vehicle from getting started. As with any other aftermarket system There are a few issues. This blog will cover some of the most common ghost immobiliser issues and solutions. 1. Frequent Code Incorrect Match The Ghost Immobiliser prevents your vehicle from starting until a PIN is entered. It is hidden inside your vehicle and works silently, so it's undetectable to thieves. It can also be put into service/valet mode for a brief period of time, so you can give someone else the key to drive your vehicle without revealing your PIN. However, sometimes users encounter issues when using their ghost immobilise r. This could be due to a problem with the software or design of the system, or a mistake in installation. Professional installation can help to avoid these issues and ensure that the ghost immobiliser functions correctly. The disarm sequence not being entered correctly is a common problem. Typically, this requires input through buttons on your car such as the steering wheel and centre console or door panels. If you're having difficulty, a smartphone application can be used to reset your disarm sequence. It is recommended to become familiar with the disarming sequence and practice it regularly. Some users have also had issues with the stop/start feature. Some of the more sophisticated ghost immobilisers may cause problems with the stop/start feature, which is essential for a lot of people. If you're experiencing this problem, it's recommended you contact your Ghost installer for more information. Some thieves can bypass the Ghost by using specialized tools. One method they employ is referred to as “key cloning”, which involves capturing the signal from your vehicle's key fob and then duplicate it. It's also possible for thieves to gain access to the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and send malicious commands directly to the ECU and bypass the ghost immobiliser. Some thieves have been successful in installing relays near the vehicle. It is important to choose a reliable manufacturer and then employ a skilled professional to install your Ghost immobiliser. 2. Battery Drain Ghost immobilisers are an additional layer of security that stops thieves who are tech-savvy from launching your car, even if they've cloned or stolen your key. The device requires input from buttons located on the car, for example those found on the steering wheel or the centre console. It generates a unique pin code every time you enter the button sequence and makes it very difficult for thieves to dearm or disable the system. It's not a foolproof solution, and there are some issues that could impact its effectiveness. Battery drain is one of the most common problems with ghost immobilisers. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as repeated errors in entry or inability to follow the proper sequence for arming or disarming the system. If the issue persists, you might need to consult with an expert technician to make sure that the device is operating correctly and isn't impacted by other components. Corrosion on the battery terminals is another possible reason for battery drain. The corrosion may result from ageing or a lack of maintenance, and could stop communication between the engine control unit (ECU) and the battery. This could cause the ECU to not start the vehicle, despite the Ghost immobiliser is activated and is connected. A third potential reason for battery drain is a dead cell on the battery. This could be due to overcharging or shorting or caused by a problem within the ignition system. If you suspect this is the cause you should speak with a professional who will replace the dead cell, and also check the ignition system. Installation problems can be a reason for irregular operation. Ghost immobilisers require specialised tools and knowledge to install them, since they have to be integrated into the electrical system of the vehicle by working with wires and bypassing certain factory components. If the device is not operating consistently, it's important to talk with your installer about the issue and see whether it can be fixed. 3. Stop/Start Eco Mode A dream car is a major investment and it's only natural that you'd want to secure it from theft. Ghost immobilisers can be among the most effective anti-theft solutions available because they prevent thieves, even with keys from getting into your vehicle. However, at times, the device can experience problems, like malfunctioning or false warning lights. These issues can be caused by a variety of reasons. A mismatch in codes is the most frequent reason for ghost immobiliser issues. The device uses a transponder integrated into your key to communicate with the ECU and determine whether or not you have the proper sequence pin. A thief can bypass the system by using a transponder that is from another vehicle, but they will not be in a position to start your vehicle if they do so. Ghost immobilisers can be a sign that the device isn't functioning as it should. This can happen if there's an in-between time between entering the code and the device responding, or if it doesn't react in any way. In this instance, you can contact your installer for technical assistance. Ghost immobilisers may also happen when the device doesn't turn off your car's eco stop/start mode as it should. This could be due to many factors, including an incorrect configuration or a problem with the device itself. It is recommended to inform your installer if this happens. Ghost immobilisers are designed to be discrete and do not require additional keys. They make use of the buttons on the steering wheel of your vehicle as well as the door panels and central console to create a unique changeable PIN code sequence of up to 20 presses. This means that only you can drive the vehicle, and it will be nearly impossible for thieves to employ RF scanners or key-cloning technology to gain access to your vehicle. This is among the most efficient and cost-effective methods to keep your dream car secure from theft. In recent years the theft of cars has risen. It is essential to take precautions to safeguard your prized possessions from thieves. 4. Incorrect Installation The Ghost immobiliser, a cutting-edge security system, prevents thieves from starting your vehicle through establishing unique PIN sequences using buttons on the dashboard as well as the steering wheel. It is connected to your CAN (Controller Area Network) system and works through the ECU to provide complete security against theft of engines. It can be installed in a hidden place, is completely silent and does not emit radio frequencies so it is inaccessible to thieves. It can be connected to your mobile phone to be alerted if someone attempts to steal or interfere with your vehicle. A flawed installation is one of the reasons why your Ghost immobiliser might not be working properly. If your device fails to activate after entering the correct code sequence, or it doesn't disarm after a specified amount of time, it could be a sign that the wiring has been installed incorrectly. You should choose an approved installer for your installation and ensure that the wiring of the vehicle isn't damaged. Another potential issue with an installation that is not properly installed is that it could cause electrical problems in other systems of your vehicle. If the wires are not correctly connected, you may experience problems with your car's warning or ignition lights which can be incredibly annoying. Finally, a bad installation could make your immobiliser more vulnerable to theft. A skilled thief might be in a position to exploit any wiring that is exposed, or find an opportunity to escape the code sequence, which could make your vehicle more vulnerable to attack. Although the cost of the Ghost immobiliser might seem expensive but you should think about the savings over time that you can make by lowering insurance costs and a less risk for theft. Autowatch and Car Keys Solutions will provide technical support during the installation so that you can receive assistance with any issues that may arise.
