Ghost Immobiliser Problems
The Ghost immobiliser is a tool to help in preventing car theft. It creates a unique pin-code sequence by using buttons on the door panels, steering wheel and the center console.
Like any other aftermarket system There are a few issues. This blog will examine some of the most common problems with ghost immobilisers as well as their solutions.
1. Frequent Code Incorrect Match
The Ghost Immobiliser is a security feature that prevents your car from starting until an appropriate PIN code is entered. It is hidden within your vehicle and operates in a silent manner, so it's undetectable to thieves. It is also possible to put it into service/valet mode for a brief duration, so you can allow someone else the keys to drive your vehicle without divulging your PIN.
However, sometimes local ghost immobiliser installer encounter issues with their ghost immobiliser. This could be due to a problem with the software, or the design of the system, or a mistake in installation. Installing the system professionally can help prevent these issues and ensure that your ghost immobiliser is working properly.
The disarm sequence not being correctly entered is a frequent problem. This is usually done by pressing buttons on your car, such as the steering wheels, centre console or door panels. If you have trouble with this, a smartphone app can be used to reset the sequence. It is recommended to become familiar with the disarming sequence and practice it frequently.
Another issue that some customers have faced is the stop/start functionality. Some of the more sophisticated ghost immobilisers can cause problems with the stop/start feature, which is important for a lot of people. If you're experiencing this problem you should speak to your Ghost installer to seek further information.
Some thieves are able bypass the Ghost with specialised tools. The 'key-cloning method' involves copying the signal from the key fob in your vehicle. It is also possible that thieves to gain access to the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and then send malicious commands to the ECU directly, bypassing ghost immobiliser. In a few instances, thieves have been able to do this by installing an unidirectional relay in the close vicinity of the vehicle. It's important to choose a trusted manufacturer and have an experienced professional install your Ghost immobiliser.
2. Battery Drain
Ghost immobilisers are an additional security measure that stops thieves who are tech-savvy from starting your car, even if they've copied or stolen your key. The device requires input from buttons on the car, such as those on the steering wheel and centre console. It generates a pin code every time you press a button sequence. This makes it difficult for criminals to disable or disarm the system. However it's not a complete solution, and you could have issues that could hinder its effectiveness.
One of the most frequently encountered ghost immobiliser problems is excessive battery drain. This could be caused by a variety of reasons, including an incorrect entry or failing to follow the correct sequence when arming or disarming. If the issue continues, you may have to speak with an expert technician to make sure that the device is operating correctly and isn't impacted by other components.
Another reason for battery drain is the corrosion that occurs on the battery terminals. The cause could be ageing or poor maintenance, and the corrosion could result in a lack of communication between the battery and engine control unit (ECU). This can cause the ECU to start the car even though the Ghost immobiliser is activated and connected.
Another possible cause of battery drain could be dead cells on the battery. This could be due to an overcharge or shorting or an issue with the ignition system. If you suspect this is the case, seek out a professional for the dead cell replaced and to have the ignition system checked.
Installation problems can be a reason for inconsistency in operation. Ghost immobilisers require special tools and know-how to install them, as they are required to be incorporated into the electrical system of the vehicle by working with wires and bypassing certain factory components. If the device does not work consistently, you should consult your installer to determine if the issue can be resolved.
3. Stop/Start Eco Mode
It's not surprising that you want to secure your dream vehicle from thieves. Ghost immobilisers are among the most effective anti-theft solutions, as they stop thieves, even if they have a key from getting into your vehicle. However, at times, the device can experience problems, like malfunctioning or faulty warning lights. These problems can occur for various reasons.
The most common reason for a ghost immobiliser malfunction is a code mismatch. The device makes use of the transponder that is built into your key to communicate with it and determine if you've got the correct pin sequence. Thieves can evade the system by using a transponder from another vehicle, but they won't be able to start your car if they do so.
Another reason that could be a cause for ghost immobiliser problems is when the device doesn't engage or disengage as it should. It could happen when there is a delay between entering the code and the device responding or if the device doesn't respond at all. If this happens, contact your installer for technical support.
Ghost immobilisers can also occur when the device fails to stop your vehicle's eco stop/start mode in the way it should. It could be caused by various causes, including an improper setup or a fault with the device itself. It is recommended to notify your installer in the event that this occurs.
Ghost immobilisers are designed to be discreet and require no additional keys. They make use of the buttons on your steering wheel, door panels, and centre console of your vehicle to create a unique PIN number that can be changed. The sequence could be up to 20 presses long. This means that only you will be able to drive the vehicle and it will be nearly impossible for thieves to employ RF scanners, key-cloning or RF scanners technology to gain access to your vehicle. This is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to keep your dream car secure from theft. With car thefts increasing in recent years, it's more important than ever to take steps to safeguard your pride and joy from thieves.
4. Incorrect Installation
The Ghost immobiliser, an advanced security device, stops thieves from starting your vehicle by generating an individual PIN sequence that is activated by buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. It is connected to your CAN (Controller Area Network) system and operates through the ECU to provide complete protection against theft of your engine. It can be placed in a hidden place, is completely silent and doesn't emit radio frequencies so it is not visible to thieves. It is also connected to your mobile phone so you can receive alerts from your mobile phone in the event that someone tries to alter or steal your vehicle.
A faulty installation is one of the reasons why your Ghost immobiliser might not be working correctly. If the device doesn't activate after entering the correct code sequence, or it's not disarming after a certain time-frame, it could mean that the wiring is incorrect. It is crucial to choose an certified installer to carry out the installation and ensure that the wiring in your vehicle is not damaged during the process.
A faulty installation can also cause electrical issues with other systems in your vehicle. If the wires haven't been connected correctly you could experience problems with your car's warning lights or ignition, which could be very difficult to resolve. A poor installation could expose your immobiliser to theft. A skilled thief may be able to exploit any wiring that is exposed or find an escape route to escape the code sequence, which would make your car more vulnerable to attack.
Although the cost of an Ghost immobiliser might be expensive but it's worth taking into account the long-term savings through lower insurance costs and a less chance of theft. In addition, a professional installation comes with Autowatch and Car Keys Solutions technical support, so you can get help with any issues that might arise.
