In this guide, we will see how to disable the immobilizer, in case of emergency or malfunction, of the Renault Twingo. First, we open the hood of the car and start by disconnecting the battery (disconnecting one of the two poles); then we disconnect the wiring and remove the control unit that we find on the side, as shown in the video.

At this point, we turn on the instrument panel, reassembling the control unit afterwards; in this way, we will have bypassed the immobilizer, thus starting the engine. We then proceed with the necessary repairs.
