This is why it is important to contact an auto repair shop immediately if you discover a problem with the ignition switch or key fob.
First, ensure that your key turns in the ignition. You can check this by rotating the steering wheel back and forth and observing if the key moves in and out of ignition lock. If you're still unable to start the vehicle, check that the ignition switch is in Park.
A malfunctioning ignition switch could be caused by a variety of things. One of the most frequent causes is that the key is worn out and is unable to longer align with the ignition cylinder. The key cylinder has several cuts, or wafers that correspond to the cut on the key to ensure that only the correct key can enter and start the engine.

Transponder Chips
Some modern cars and trucks require a special key that has an embedded transponder chip. This is a security feature that prevents your vehicle from being stolen or tampered with. When you insert the key into your ignition it sends a radio signal to the transponder which in turn, returns a code that the car can verify is valid. Your vehicle will not start without this code. This is not a problem with older models, but could be a problem for modern cars.
It is possible to cut and program older keys with no transponder chips, but the cost will be more than a key that has a transponder chip. Certain older models have key codes which are not compatible with the modern key fobs. You'll need to replace your fob if this is your preference.

This is especially crucial for those who reside in an area where you are often surfing, kayaking or fishing, and you may need to leave your vehicle in the dark for extended durations.
Immobiliser
The anti-theft or immobiliser system checks to make sure the key used to start the car is the correct one. If it isn't, this system blocks different actions to prevent the vehicle from starting. It is recommended to let a professional handle any problems with the immobilizer.
The 04 Rodeo/Axiom Immobilizer system is based on near field communication (NFC) microchips that are embedded in the key and an antenna inside the key's plastic. The NFC chip in the key transmits an encrypted request signal to the Ignition Switch when the key is within 1.5 inches of the switch. If the signal is valid it will trigger the Ignition Switch allows the engine to start.
If the Ignition Switch detects that the key is not the right one, it will shut down the fuel pump as well as the ignition coil and possibly the injectors. It also disables power steering to make it harder for thieves to steer your vehicle.
There are several reasons why an immobiliser may be activated. The most common cause is a malfunctioning battery in the ignition key. A key that requires to be reprogrammed is another possibility. This is a difficult task and requires a specific diagnostic device.
If the chip is damaged the key won't be capable of sending an acceptable signal. In this case you'll have to purchase a replacement key. You can visit the dealership or a locksmith, but you'll probably be charged quite a bit.
