Keyless Entry Transmitter
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Each keyless entry transmitter contains a transponder with a unique encrypted value. The transponder's encrypted value is fixed and unable to be changed. The immobilizer system uses the keyless entry transmitter transponder value to determine if a valid keyless entry transmitter is being used to start the vehicle.
