How Peugeot Keys Propelled To The Top Trend On Social Media
Peugeot 208 Key Replacement 
 
Peugeot 208 key replacement is best left to professional auto locksmiths who have the right equipment and technical know-how. They will be able to create and program new keys faster than a dealership would and at a lesser cost. 
 
If your key fob has stopped locking or unlocking your doors, it is likely due to a dead battery in the coin. There are also other reasons why the key may be malfunctioning. 
 
Dead Coin Battery 
 
 
A dead battery in the coin compartment will prevent your Peugeot 208 from locking or unlocking, and cannot start the engine. In this scenario you’ll have to make use of the alternative method for starting described in your vehicle owner’s manual. 
 
Another reason why your 208 might not start is because the spark plugs are been damaged. The spark plugs are responsible to ignite the fuel that starts the engine. However they are limited in their lifespan. If they aren’t utilized enough they will eventually fail. 
 
There is a straightforward solution to this problem. Check the voltage of the battery using a multimeter. If it is below 11.5 Volts then you must replace it. It is also necessary to clean the contacts of the battery in the event that it is damaged by corrosion. This can be done by lifting the rubber covers covering both battery terminals and using a wire brush to remove any corroded components of the battery. It is then time to reconnect the cables that connect the positive and negative poles. 
 
Water Damage 
 
If your 208 doesn’t start and the battery isn’t flat then you should check whether the spark plugs are in good working order. You might find that they are filthy and don’t spark. The spark plugs can be cleaned in the workshop. 
 
G28 use a transponder key that integrates with the car’s immobiliser system. This ensures only the correct key is able to turn the engine. If the chip inside the Peugeot key is damaged, then it will not transmit the correct signal to the vehicle. 
 
Water damage is a common cause of this issue. This is a typical issue in colder climates where the vehicle is exposed to rain or snow. If this is the case, you should seek out a reputable auto locksmith who will have all the tools and equipment required to change the key’s programming. They’ll also have the latest technology and machinery needed to create the Peugeot smart key. The process should not take more than 15 minutes. 
 
Contacts to the battery are not working properly. 
 
Peugeot replaced the old transponder chips by introducing a new model that is based on electronic components mounted on a circuit board. This new technology works great when it’s brand new but as time passes, the circuit boards begin to deteriorate and stop working properly. 
 
This can stop the immobiliser from working, so your vehicle won’t start. If this happens, it’s a good idea to seek out a Peugeot specialist or locksmith. 
 
Another issue that is common is when the key fob battery starts to die, this causes the key blade to stop from entering the lock. A locksmith in your car can replace the battery and cut a fresh blade for you, this is generally a quick fix. 
 
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 or washing it, it could be due to a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequency to the onboard computer which regulates the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle. 
 
Rubber seals on the key fob stop water from reaching the electronic chip. However, prolonged exposure to water can cause damage to these seals and the chip. The high salt content of the ocean or pool could cause damage to the key fob, especially if it is submerged. 
 
The module will have to be replaced if your Peugeot spare key is no longer working. This should be done by a Peugeot specialist or a professional auto locksmith. Peugeot keys unlike other automobiles, are protected by an immobilizer system. This requires the right code to begin the car. This is why you must go with a knowledgeable Peugeot locksmith to take on the job of creating and programming the replacement. 
 
Computer with a problem on board 
 
The on-board computer inside your Peugeot is responsible for a number of the systems inside your vehicle, from power windows to airbags. When something goes wrong with these systems, it’ll typically display a code that identifies the problem. The code will be stored in the system until the issue is fixed. Most often, this involves replacing the on-board computer. 
 
One of the most frequent causes of the airbag light turning on is the loose or corroded connections within the airbag sensor. This can occur due to wear and tear, ageing, or exposure to moisture and salt. It is crucial to get this issue addressed as soon as you can, since an airbag that is malfunctioning can be dangerous in the event of an accident. 
 
If you notice an error message that says “card not found” on your Peugeot, the key battery inside the key fob might be weak or dead. This prevents the key fob from transmitting a signal that will disable your vehicle’s immobilizer. Try this by pressing the unlock key on the fob’s key and then trying to start your car. If this fails the battery on the key needs to be replaced.
