EEPROM Vauxhall Cars
If our locksmiths are struggling to reprogram a car key into the system via the ECU, BCM or the Instrument Cluster. We can sometimes perform something called a technique called an EEPROM on the Vehicle Immobiliser System. The usual way in which a key is programmed to the car is from the obd socket. On older Vauxhall cars rather than newer ones' communication from our machinery to the car cannot be obtained. This is where the EEPROM technique is handy to us locksmiths. We take out the module in which the immobile is located for the vehicle on which we are working on. Then program the car key direct to it rather than using the OBD socket trying to find its way through the Can Bus system or Analogue as the circuits may be damaged in some shape or form.
EEPROM For Trade
If you are a Trader, Mechanic or An Auto Locksmith we supply EEPROM work for all trades. We ask that you call us first to make sure it is a module we cover for EEPROM work and then we can advise on what to do next. We supply this service for most of the Vauxhall Car range. Our Locksmiths are experts in Immobiliser repairs.
Vehicles We Can Cover
Vauxhall Car Not Starting / Key Symbol
If you own a Vauxhall vehicle and have suspected that the battery has been flat a few times or not continually used then you may find one day you go to start it and nothing happens. The first and everyone's impression is that the key is broken. The lights on the dash will light up as per usual a key symbol may flash but not always which indicates that corrupted data has happened. Our Locksmiths can get your vehicle up and running.
ECU, BCM, ABS, Immobiliser Codding
On many of the Vauxhall older car range what actually happens is one of the modules loses their synchronisation to the vehicle and data gets corrupted which is why the key sign appears. The key sign rarely has anything to do with the key or immobiliser of the vehicle. James Cardiff Locksmith whose Auto Locksmiths Choice in Cardiff can code all the modules back into the system without taking it to any dealerships. This can be done at the side of the road and have all the modules connected back into one another within an hour normally. So the Car can start up once again. We can also do an Emergency Auto Locksmith service if booking one of our locksmiths in isn't convenient and you need to be back up and running asap.
