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

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery in the coin compartment will hinder your Peugeot 208 from locking or unlocking and will not start the engine. If this is the case, you'll have to apply the backup starting technique that is detailed in the owner's manual of your vehicle.

Another reason why your 208 may not start is that the spark plugs are been worn down. The spark plugs ignite fuel to start the engine. They are only able to last for a short time. They'll eventually break down if they aren't used frequently enough.

There is a simple solution for this issue. Check the voltage of your battery using a multimeter. If it's less than 11.5 volts it is time to replace it. It is also important to clean the battery's contacts in the event that it is damaged by corrosion. This can be accomplished by removing the rubber covers off the two terminals of the battery, and then using a wirebrush to eliminate any parts of the battery that are corroded. Then, you must reconnect the positive and negative pole cables.

Water Damage

If your 208 doesn't start and the battery isn't flat, then you need to make sure whether the spark plugs are working. You may find that they are dirty and do not spark. This can be fixed easily by cleaning the spark plugs in an workshop.

Peugeot automobiles use keys that are transponder-type and integrates with the car's immobiliser system. This makes sure that only the correct 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.

This is a frequent issue that is often caused by water damage. This is particularly prevalent in colder climates. the vehicle might have been exposed to rain or snow. In this case, contact a reputable locksmith who has the necessary tools and equipment to reprogram the key. They'll also have the latest technology and machinery required to make a Peugeot smart key. The process should take no more than 15 minutes.

Contacts of the battery may be damaged.

Peugeot replaced the old transponder chips by introducing a new model that utilizes electronic components that are mounted on a circuit board. This new technology works great when it's brand new but over time the circuit boards begin to degrade and stop working correctly.


This could prevent the immobiliser chip from triggering and causing your car to not start. Contact a Peugeot specialist or a locksmith, if this is the case.

The most frequent issue is when the battery in 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 new blade for you, this is generally a quick fix.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob isn't working after dropping it on the floor, being exposed to a sudden rain or accidently washing it or washing it, it could be due to a defective receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio signals to the onboard computer which controls the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The rubber seals on the key fob prevent water from getting to the electronic chip. However prolonged exposure to water could be able to penetrate these seals and cause damage to the chip. Submerging the key fob in ocean water on the beach or throwing it into the pool could be particularly damaging due to the high salt content.

The module will have to be replaced if your Peugeot spare key does not work anymore. This is only done by an expert auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. Peugeot keys like other cars are protected by an immobilizer system. This requires the proper 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 on-board computer inside your Peugeot is responsible for a variety of the systems in your car, from airbags to power windows. The on-board computer displays a code when something goes wrong. This code is saved in the system and stays there until the issue is solved. Usually, this will mean replacing the onboard computer.

The KeyLab of the most frequent causes of the light turning on is the loose or corroded connectors in the airbag sensor. This can occur due to wear and tear, aging or exposure to moisture and salt. This problem should be dealt with as soon as you can, since an airbag malfunctioning could be dangerous in the event of an accident.

If your Peugeot is showing a card detected as not present error then the key battery in the key fob could be weak or dead. This could prevent the key fob from transmitting a signal that will disable the immobilizer on your vehicle's standard. Test this by pressing the unlock key on the fob's key and then trying to start your car. If this fails it is because the battery of the key has to be replaced.
