How Many Chips Are There in a Car?
1 Answers
A typical car contains approximately 50 to 150 chips. Here are specific details about car key chips: 1. Working Principle: A car key chip is a component capable of receiving and retransmitting pulse signals. When the car key is turned in the ignition switch, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) in the vehicle sends an encrypted electronic code signal to the chip inside the car key. The vehicle will only start if the ECU unit receives and recognizes the correct anti-theft code signal in response. 2. Function: Even without any buttons, a car key can activate and deactivate the vehicle's anti-theft system through internal chip encoding. Programming a chip-equipped car key requires specialized original manufacturer matching equipment.
