Function of ambient temperature sensor
In most cases, the term immobilizer refers to the legally required electronic immobilizer. Since the early 1990s, an electronic immobilizer has been installed in most vehicles. This helps to prevent vehicle theft.
All modern immobilizers require communication between a transponder installed in the key and the immobilizer antenna. Only when the immobilizer antenna (which is usually installed on the ignition lock or on the steering column) reports correct communication with the key does the immobilizer control unit issue a release to the engine control unit.
