If your key fob stopped locking or unlocking your doors, it is likely due to a dead coin battery. However, there are many other reasons why the key might be malfunctioning.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery can stop your Peugeot 208 from locking or unlocking and won't start the engine. If this is the case, you'll need to use the backup starting method that is detailed in your vehicle's owner manual.

The spark plugs can also be worn out. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel that ignites the engine. They have a limited lifespan. If they aren't utilized 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. If the battery is corroded it is necessary to clean its contacts. This can be accomplished by taking off the rubber covers from the two battery terminals, and then using a wirebrush to eliminate any damaged parts of the battery. Then, you must reconnect the positive and negative pole cables.

Water Damage

If your 208 will not start and the battery hasn't failed, you should look at the spark plugs. It could be that they're dirty and do not spark. The spark plugs can be cleaned in the workshop.

Peugeot cars have keys that are transponder-type and works with the car's ignition system. This ensures that only the right key is able to turn the engine. If the chip in the Peugeot key is damaged then it will not send the proper signal to the vehicle.

This is a frequent issue that can be caused by water damage. This is particularly prevalent in colder climates where the vehicle could have been exposed to snow or rain. In this instance, you should contact a reputable locksmith who will have the tools and equipment required to reprogram the key. They also have the latest technological know-how and the equipment required to make a Peugeot 208 smart key. The process shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes.

Contacts with the battery may be damaged.

Peugeot changed from the old carbon encased transponder chips to a brand new type of chip that uses electronic components that are placed on circuit boards. The new system is excellent when it's new, but the circuit boards deteriorate over time and stop working properly.

This can stop the immobiliser from triggering so that your vehicle won't start. Contact a peugeot car key specialist or a locksmith, if this is the case.

Another common issue is when the key fob battery begins to fail, which causes the key blade to stop getting into the lock. A locksmith in your car will replace the battery and cut a new blade for you. This is a simple fix.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob has stopped 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 regulates the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The key fob itself has rubber seals which prevent water from reaching the chip inside. However prolonged exposure to water may cause damage to these seals and the chip. The high salt content in the pool or ocean waters can cause damage to the key fob, especially if it is submerged.

If your Peugeot spare key fob doesn't work then you'll have to get the module replaced. This is only done by a skilled auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. Like other automobiles, Peugeot keys are protected by an unique immobilizer system that requires the correct code to start the engine. This is why you must go with a knowledgeable Peugeot locksmith for the job of designing and programming an appropriate replacement.

Computer malfunctioning on-board

The on-board computer inside your Peugeot is responsible for a number of the systems within your vehicle, from power windows to airbags. When something goes wrong in these systems, it will typically display a code that identifies the problem. This code is saved in the system and will remain there until the issue is resolved. In most cases, this will require replacing the computer on board.

The most common reason for the airbag warning light to turn on is corrosion or loose connections in the sensor. This could be due to wear and tear, aging, exposure to moisture and salt. It is important to have this issue resolved as soon as possible, since a malfunctioning airbag can be dangerous in the event an accident.

If your Peugeot is showing a card not detected error, the battery inside the key fob might be dead or weak. This will stop the key fob from sending a signal to disarm the immobilizer in your vehicle. You can test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob and then trying to start your car. If this doesn't work it is because the battery of the key is in need of replacement.
