This is because a ghost immobiliser (click through the up coming document) prevents key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing - techniques that are frequently used by thieves to gain entry into cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser sends a message to the ECU. If the incorrect code is received and the vehicle is not started as the engine will not start up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser by using the aid of a software program, however it would be extremely difficult and time-consuming to accomplish this.
