Peugeot 208 Key Replacement

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

If the key fob has stopped locking or unlocking your doors it is likely due to a dead battery in the coin. However, there are many 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 preventing it from starting the engine. In this scenario you'll need employ the alternate method of starting described in your vehicle owner's manual.

The spark plugs could also be worn out. The spark plugs are responsible for instigating the fuel that ignites the engine. However they have a finite lifespan. If they are not used enough to last, they'll eventually fail.

Fortunately, there's an easy solution for this issue. Check the voltage of your battery using a multimeter. If it is below 11.5 Volts it is time to replace it. It is also necessary to clean the contacts of the battery if it has corrosion. You can do this by lifting the rubber covers that protect both battery terminals and using wire brushes to clean any corroded parts of the battery. You should then reconnect the cables that connect the positive and negative poles.

Water Damage

If your 208 doesn't start and the battery hasn't fallen flat, it is time to check the spark plugs. It is possible that they are overly dirty, causing them not to spark. This can be fixed easily by cleaning the spark plugs in an workshop.

Peugeot automobiles are equipped with a transponder that is compatible with the immobiliser. This ensures that only the right key is able to turn the engine. If the chip inside the Peugeot key is damaged, it will not transmit the proper signal to the vehicle.

Water damage is a common cause of this issue. This is particularly common in colder climates, as the vehicle might have been exposed to snow or rain. In this instance, you should contact a trusted locksmith who will have the necessary tools and equipment to reprogram the key. They will also have the latest technology and machinery needed to create the Peugeot smart key . The process shouldn't be more than 15 minutes.

Contacts for the battery that are defective

Peugeot changed from the old carbon-encased transponder chips to a new type of chip that uses electronic components within circuit boards. The new system is fantastic when it's new, but the circuit boards begin to degrade with time and stop working properly.

This could stop the immobiliser chip from activating which means that your car won't start. If this is the case it's a good idea call a Peugeot specialist or locksmith.

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

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob isn't working after dropping it on the floor, getting exposed to a sudden downpour or accidentally washing it or washing it, it could be due to a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequency to the onboard computer that manages the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The key fob itself has rubber seals that block water from reaching the electronic chip inside. Water can damage the chip when it is exposed to water for a long time. Submerging the key fob in ocean water at the beach or throwing it into the water can be especially damaging because of the high salt content.

If your Peugeot spare key fob doesn't work, you'll need to have the module replaced. This can only be completed by an experienced auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. In contrast to other vehicles, Peugeot keys are protected by a unique immobilizer system that requires the correct programming in order to start the engine. This is why you should only trust an experienced Peugeot locksmith to take on the job of designing and programming a replacement.

Computers with faulty on-board computers

The computer on board of your Peugeot is responsible for various features in your car, including power windows and airbags. If something goes wrong with these systems, they will usually display a code that identifies the problem. This code is stored in the system and will stay there until the problem is resolved. Most often, this involves replacing the computer on board.

One of the most frequent reasons for the light turning on is loose or corroded connectors in the airbag sensor. This could be due to wear and tear, aging, or exposure to moisture and salt. This problem should be addressed as soon you can, since an airbag that's malfunctioning could pose a risk in the event of an accident.

If you see the error "card not found" on your Peugeot key fob, the battery inside the key fob could be weak or dead. This will stop the key fob sending a signal to deactivate the immobilizer on your vehicle. Try this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob, and then trying to start your car. If this fails, then the key battery will need replacing.
