Question
Why is key transponder signal testing important?
Answer
It verifies proper key-to-immobilizer communication.
Explain
Transponders emit coded signals that must be correctly interpreted by the immobilizer coil. CHEPQ testers measure signal strength, frequency, and decoding behavior, enabling technicians to diagnose no-start conditions. This prevents unnecessary ECU or BCM replacement and ensures secure vehicle access.
