The problem may involve a transponder, immobilizer authorization, damaged chip, ignition reader, battery voltage, or another vehicle system. Mechanical and electronic functions should be tested separately.

A visible or reachable fragment can often be extracted with controlled tools. The lock should then be inspected so the same wear or obstruction does not break the replacement key.

Force can snap the blade, bend wafers, damage the ignition, or push a broken fragment deeper. Stop when resistance changes and have the key and lock inspected.

No. Replacement is not always necessary. The locksmith should inspect and test the existing lock, key, cylinder, and electronic system before recommending new parts.
