Peugeot 208 Key Replacement

Peugeot 208 key replacement should be left to auto locksmiths with experience who have the proper equipment and know-how. They can program and create keys more quickly and at a lower cost than dealers.

If the key fob stopped locking or unlocking your doors it is likely due to a dead battery in the coin. There are other possibilities that the key is malfunctioning.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery will prevent your Peugeot 208 from locking or unlocking, and cannot start the engine. In this situation, you will need to choose the alternate method to start found in your vehicle's owner's manual.

The spark plugs could also be worn out. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel that ignites the engine. However they have a short time of life. If they're not used enough, they will eventually fail.

There is a simple solution for this problem. Check the voltage of the battery with a multimeter. If it's below 11.5 Volts and you are not satisfied, then it is time to replace it. It is also necessary to clean the battery's contacts in the event that it is damaged by corrosion. You can do this by lifting the rubber covers that cover the two terminals of the battery and using a wire brush to remove any corroded components of the battery. It is then time to reconnect your cables to connect the positive and negative poles.

Water Damage

If your 208 will not start and the battery hasn't been replaced, you must look at the spark plugs. You may find that they are simply too dirty and do not spark. This is easily fixed by cleaning the spark plugs in a workshop.

Peugeot cars have a transponder key that works with the car's immobiliser system. This guarantees that only the right key is able to start the engine. If the chip in the Peugeot key is damaged, it won't send the proper signal to the vehicle.

Water damage is a common reason for this issue. This is a common problem in areas with colder temperatures where the vehicle is exposed to snow or rain. If this is the case, seek out a reputable auto locksmith who will have all of the tools and equipment needed to reprogram the new key. They will also have the latest technology and machinery needed to make the Peugeot smart key. The process shouldn't last more than 15 minutes.

Faulty battery contacts

Peugeot changed from the carbon-encased transponder chips to a new type of chip that incorporates electronic components in a circuit board. The new system is effective when it's brand new, but as time passes, the circuit boards start to degrade and stop working correctly.

This could stop the immobiliser chip from working, so your car won't start. Contact a Peugeot specialist, or a locksmith, if this is the case.

A common problem is when the battery inside the key fob starts to die. This causes the blade of the key to stop feeding into the lock. A locksmith in your car can replace the battery and cut a fresh blade for you, it's normally a quick fix.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob stopped working after dropping it on the floor, being exposed to a sudden downpour or accidently washing it the wrong way, it could be due to a faulty receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio signals to the onboard computer that regulates the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The rubber seals on the key fob block water from getting to the electronic chip. However, prolonged exposure to water could break through these seals, causing damage to the chip. The high salt content of the ocean water or pool could cause damage to the key fob when it is submerged.

The module must be replaced if your Peugeot spare key does not work anymore. This is only completed by an experienced auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. Peugeot keys unlike other automobiles, are protected by an immobilizer system. proximity requires the correct code to begin the car. This is the reason that you should only trust the Peugeot locksmith to create and program a replacement.

Computer with a problem on board

The computer on the board of your Peugeot is the one responsible for all of the systems within your car, from power windows to airbags. The on-board computer displays the code when something goes wrong. This code will be saved within the system until the issue is resolved. This may require the on-board computers to be replaced.

The most common cause of the warning light for the airbag to flash is corrosion or loose connections within the sensor. This can be caused by wear and tear, ageing or exposure to salt and moisture. It is important to have this issue resolved as soon as possible, since an airbag that is not functioning properly could be dangerous in the event of an accident.

If you find an error message that says "card not found" on your Peugeot, the key battery in the key fob might be dead or weak. This can prevent the key fob from sending a signal to disable your vehicle's immobilizer. You can test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob, then trying to start your car. If this fails, the key battery needs to be replaced.
