Peugeot 208 Key Replacement

Peugeot 208 key replacement is best left to professional auto locksmiths with the right equipment and know-how. They can create and program keys quicker and more efficiently than dealerships.

If your key fob has stopped locking or unlocking your doors it is likely due to a dead battery in the coin. But, there are other reasons why the key might be malfunctioning.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery will stop your Peugeot 208 from locking and unlocking, as well as stopping it from starting the engine. In this instance you'll have to use the alternative starting method described in your vehicle owner's manual.

Another reason why your 208 may not start is because the spark plugs have worn down. The spark plugs light the fuel to start the engine. However, they have a limited time of life. If they aren't utilized enough they will eventually fail.

Luckily, there is an easy solution for this issue. Verify the voltage of your battery using a multimeter. If it's below 11.5 Volts it is time to replace it. It is also necessary to clean the contacts of the battery in case it is corroded. This can be done by lifting the rubber covers that cover the two terminals on the battery and using wire brushes to clean any corroded areas of the battery. Then, you should connect the cables that connect the positive and negative poles.

Water Damage

If your 208 does not start and the battery has not fallen flat, it is time to inspect the spark plugs. It is possible that they're filthy, making them unable to spark. This can be fixed easily by cleaning the spark plugs in a workshop.

Peugeot automobiles are equipped with a transponder that is compatible with the immobiliser. This guarantees that only the right key can start the engine. If the chip inside the Peugeot key is damaged, it will not send the proper signal to the vehicle.

Water damage is a common cause of this issue. This is a common issue in areas with colder temperatures where the vehicle is exposed to rain or snow. If this is the case, get in touch with a reputable locksmith who has all of the tools and equipment required to reprogram the new key. They will also have the latest technological know-how and machinery required to make a Peugeot 208 smart key. The process should not take more than 15 minutes.


Faulty Battery Contacts

Peugeot replaced the old transponder chips using a new type that uses electronic components that are mounted on a circuit board. The new system works great when it's new, but the circuit boards wear out over time and stop working properly.

This could stop the immobiliser from triggering so that the vehicle won't start. If this is the case it's recommended to call a Peugeot specialist or locksmith.

Another common issue is when the battery in the key fob is dying, this causes the blade of the key to stop getting into the lock. A locksmith from your car will replace the battery and then cut a new key blade for you. This is a quick solution.

Faulty Receiver Module

It could be that the receiver module is defective if your Peugeot key fob stops working after being dropped on the floor, or exposed to a sudden downpour or accidentally washed. The receiver is responsible for sending radio frequency signals to the onboard computer, which controls the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The key fob itself is fitted with rubber seals that block water from reaching the electronic chip inside. However prolonged exposure to water may penetrate these seals and damage the chip. Submerging the key fob in sea water at the beach or throwing it into the water can be especially damaging because of the high salt content.

The module will need to be replaced if the Peugeot spare key no longer works. This is only done by an Peugeot specialist or a professional auto locksmith. Peugeot keys are, unlike other vehicles, are secured by an immobilizer device. This requires the right programming to allow the car to start. This is why it is imperative that you should only rely on a Peugeot locksmith to design and program the replacement.

The on-board computer inside your Peugeot is responsible for a variety of the systems within your car, ranging from power windows to the airbags. The on-board computer displays the code when something goes wrong. This code is stored in the system and will stay there until the issue has been resolved. Usually, this will mean replacing the onboard computer.

One of the most common reasons for the light flashing is loose or corroded connectors in the airbag sensor. This can be caused by wear and tear, aging, or exposure to salt and moisture. This issue needs to be dealt with as soon as you can, because an airbag malfunctioning could be dangerous in the event of an accident.

If your Peugeot is showing a card not detected error, then the battery inside the key fob could be dead or weak. This can prevent the key fob from sending a signal to disable your vehicle's standard immobilizer. Test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob and then trying to start your car. If this doesn't work it is likely that the battery will need replacing.
