When it is activated by an electromagnetic field, the chip emits a low-frequency signal. The signal is absorbed by a special antenna that is attached to the ignition barrel. The computer system of the vehicle can then verify that the transponder chip of the key is the correct one for your car.

When the transponder key is inserted into the ignition barrel, a circuit within of the induction coil sends out an electrical signal.

The receiver then compares the data with the 'allowed signals' stored in the key fob, and then locks or opens the car door. If the information doesn't match the signals, the car will not be allowed to run.
