You should then reconnect the cables that connect the positive and negative poles.

Water Damage

If your 208 doesn't start and the battery is not empty, you must ensure that the spark plugs are functioning. It is possible that they are overly dirty, which causes them not to spark. The spark plugs can be cleaned in an workshop.

Peugeot automobiles are equipped with a transponder that is compatible with the immobiliser. This ensures that only a valid 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.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob was not working after dropping it on the floor, or being exposed to a sudden downpour or accidently washing it the wrong way, it could be due to a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver is responsible for transmitting radio frequency signals to the onboard computer, which is responsible for controlling the centralized locking system inside your Peugeot vehicle.

Rubber seals on the key fob keep water from getting to the electronic chip. However prolonged exposure to water may be able to penetrate these seals and cause damage to the chip. The high salt content of the ocean or pool can cause damage to the key fob if it is submerged.

The module will need to be replaced if the Peugeot spare key no longer works. This can only be performed by a professional auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. Peugeot keys unlike other automobiles, are secured by an immobilizer device. This requires the correct coding to start the car.

Often, this will involve replacing the on-board computer.

The most frequent cause for the airbag warning light to come on is corroded or loose connections within the sensor. This can be caused by wear and tear, aging, or exposure to salt and moisture. It is imperative to have this issue addressed as quickly as possible, since a malfunctioning airbag can be dangerous in the event an accident.


If you encounter a card not found error on your Peugeot, the key battery in the key fob may be dead or weak. This will stop the key fob from sending a signal to disarm your vehicle's immobilizer. Test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob, and then trying to start your vehicle. If it doesn't work then the battery in the key fob is in need of replacement.
