Peugeot 308 Key Fob Problems and How to Fix Them

If your Peugeot 308 key fob has stopped functioning one day it could be due to a dead battery in the coin or water damage or receiver module issues, or a defective electronic chip. Luckily these are all easy to fix and you'll get your vehicle back to normal in no time at all!

The blade of the key can get worn out and cause an issue with your car key. You can easily fix the issue by visiting your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith to replace the blade.


Battery

The battery that powers the key fob on your Peugeot 308 can sometimes die or become insufficient to send an intense signal to your car. The key fob might stop working and prevent you from locking or unlocking your doors, or even starting the engine. You'll need a new battery for your key fob to fix this.

You can purchase a new battery at an auto parts store, or at your local hardware store. When you purchase the battery, make sure that it's brand new and hasn't sat on the shelf for a long time. A fresh new battery will have greater capacity and will also be able to send a more powerful signal to the car.

After replacing the battery try unlocking the doors and locking them using the key fob. If the doors aren't unlocking it's likely that the receiver module inside the car is at fault. The local Peugeot dealer can reprogram the receiver module.

It's possible that the chip inside your key fob is damaged. This could happen when you drop your key fob on the ground or expose it to water. The rubber seals that shield the chip from moisture may become worn down over time particularly if the key fob is exposed to water for prolonged periods of time, such as submerging it in the ocean at the beach. To prevent this from happening, it's essential to keep your key fob free from moisture and not let it come into contact with water.

Water Damage

Don't let go of your key fob when it gets wet, whether you slipped into an aquisition or stumbled into a water puddle. While the key fob comes with rubber seals that protect it from water, long-term exposure to water can cause damage to its electronic chip. Water is a good conductor, and any water that comes into the key fob will cause the short circuits to be in series which eventually damage the electronic chip. After removing the batteries clean the contact surfaces with isopropyl. Dry them completely before putting them back into.

A dead battery may be the reason your Peugeot 308 won't start. If case have a spare car, jumper cables can be used to get the engine working again. If the battery is the problem, it will need to be replaced.

A bad receiver in the car may also block it from receiving the signal from the key fob. The key fob may be damaged or there may be an issue with the antenna, wiring or the key fob itself. It may be necessary to program a new keyfob to your vehicle if using one. If you're unable to solve the issue, you should contact a professional technician. A skilled technician will be able to determine the issue quickly and fix it promptly.

Radio Interference

Interference may cause problems such as a key fob that's not being recognized or has a narrow range. The interference could be radiated or transmitted, which is caused by power cables and speaker cables being too close to electrical parts. Generally, re-routing the cables or moving them further away from these components could resolve the issue.

It's unlikely that anyone is listening in on the signals from your key fob to steal your car, but it's possible that your signal has been masked by radio frequency interference. This is an easy issue to repair.

If your key fob is not being recognized by the system, you can try replacing the battery. Also, make sure that the battery is the correct size and type. Incorrectly sized batteries could harm the fob.

These devices may interfere with the key signal if they use the same radio frequency. Beware of attaching these devices to your key fob.

Pairing Issues

The remote keyless entry system contains an antenna that receives radio frequency signals from the key fob. If the receiver has developed issues, you will not be capable of starting your car even if the key fob is functional and can be reset. The issue can be caused by a variety of ways, such as a dead battery in the coin-cell, or water damage. The receiver may also be malfunctioning as a result of a software error or internal damage to the key itself.

The coin battery in your Peugeot 308 keyfob may have been drained. The battery can be easily replaced, but you must make sure that it is the correct battery for your keyfob. The wrong battery could result in further problems with the key fob, so it is best to choose the original or the replacement that is identical in size, voltage and specifications.

Another reason why the reason why your Peugeot 308 key fob might not be working is because it has been paired to a different car. It is possible that you have accidentally given your key fob away to a friend or the key was used to unlock other vehicles. This can be fixed by reprogramming your key fob using an OBDII scan. The scanner will usually ask you for specific information regarding your vehicle, for example the VIN or engine type, and it's essential to enter it correctly.
