Peugeot 208 Key Replacement

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

A dead battery for your coin is most likely to be at fault the reason your key-fob stops locking or unlocking doors. There are many other reasons that the key could be malfunctioning.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery will stop your Peugeot 208 from locking or unlocking, and will not allow you to start the engine. In this instance you'll have to employ the alternate method of starting that is described in the owner's manual.

Another reason why the 208 won't start is that the spark plugs are worn down. The spark plugs are responsible for sparking the fuel which starts the engine. They have a limited lifespan. If they're not used enough, they will eventually fail.

There is a straightforward solution to this issue. The best option is to check the voltage of your car battery with a multimeter. If the voltage is less than 11,5 volts, then it's time to replace it. If the battery is corroded it is essential to clean its contacts. You can do this by lifting the rubber covers covering both battery terminals and using wire brushes to clean any corroded areas of the battery. Then, you should connect the cables for the positive and negative poles.

Water Damage

If your 208 isn't starting and the battery is not empty, you must ensure that the spark plugs are working. It could be that they are simply too dirty and they don't spark. The spark plugs can be cleaned in an workshop.

Peugeot cars are equipped with a key with a transponder that is compatible with the immobiliser. This makes sure that only the correct key can turn the engine. If the chip inside the Peugeot key is damaged, it won't transmit the proper signal to the vehicle.

This is a common problem that can be caused by water damage. This is a common problem in warmer climates where the vehicle is exposed to rain or snow. In this case, contact an experienced locksmith who has the tools and equipment required to change the key's programming. They also have the most up-to-date technological know-how and machinery required to create a Peugeot 208 smart key. The process shouldn't last more than 15 minutes.

Faulty Battery Contacts

Peugeot changed from the old carbon encased transponder chips to a new type of chip that relies on electronic components on a circuit board. This new system works well when it's brand new, but over time the circuit boards start to lose their effectiveness and cease working properly.

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

Another common issue is when the battery for the key fob is dying, this causes the key blade to stop from entering the lock. A car locksmith can replace the battery and cut a fresh blade for you, it's usually a simple fix.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your Peugeot key fob was not working after dropping it on the floor, getting exposed to a sudden rain or accidently washing it, it could be due to a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequencies to the onboard computer that controls the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

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

The module will have to be replaced if the Peugeot spare key no longer works. This can only be done by an expert auto locksmith or Peugeot specialist. Unlike other cars, Peugeot keys are protected by a unique immobilizer system that requires the correct coding in order to start the engine. This is the reason that you should only trust a Peugeot locksmith to design and program an alternative.

Computers with faulty on-board computers

The computer on the board of your Peugeot is responsible for a variety of the systems inside your car, ranging from airbags to power windows. The computer on board will display a code if something goes wrong. This code will be stored within the system until the issue is fixed. Often, this will involve the on-board computer being replaced.

One of the most common causes of the light flashing is loose or corroded connections in the airbag sensor. This can be caused by wear and tear, aging, exposure to moisture and salt. This issue must be addressed as soon you can, because an airbag malfunctioning could be dangerous in the event in the event of an accident.

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