Peugeot 208 Key Replacement Peugeot 208 key replacement should be left to experienced auto locksmiths who have the proper equipment and technical knowledge. They can create and program new keys faster than a dealership would and at a cheaper cost. If the key fob has stopped locking or unlocking your doors it is likely due to a dead coin battery. There are other causes for the key to be malfunctioning. Dead Coin Battery A dead coin battery will stop your Peugeot 208 from locking and unlocking, and also preventing it from starting the engine. If this is the case, you'll need to apply the backup starting technique that is described in the owner's manual of your vehicle. The spark plugs might also be worn out. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel that starts the engine. They have a limited life span. They'll eventually fail in the event that they aren't utilized enough. There is a straightforward solution to this issue. The best solution is to measure the voltage of your car battery using 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 important to clean its contacts. This can be accomplished by removing the rubber cover from the two battery terminals, and then using a wirebrush to remove any damaged parts of the battery. Then, you should reconnect the positive and negative pole cables. Water Damage If your 208 will not start and the battery has not been replaced, you must look at the spark plugs. You may find that they are dirty and they don't spark. This can be fixed easily by cleaning the spark plugs in a workshop. Peugeot cars are equipped with a transponder style key that works with the car's ignition system. This ensures 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 frequent issue that is caused by water damage. This is a typical issue in warmer climates where the vehicle has been exposed to snow or rain. In this case, you need to contact a reputable locksmith who has the tools and equipment required to reprogram the key. They will also have the latest technology and equipment required to create a Peugeot smart key. The process shouldn't last more than 15 minutes. Contacts with the battery may be damaged. Peugeot changed from the old carbon-encased transponder chips to an entirely new kind of chip that utilizes electronic components that are placed on circuit boards. This new technology works great when it's new, but over time the circuit boards begin to degrade and stop working properly. This could prevent the immobiliser from activating so your vehicle won't start. Contact a Peugeot specialist or a locksmith, if this is the case. A common issue is when the battery in the key fob begins to fail. This causes the blade of the key to stop feeding into the lock. A car locksmith will replace the battery, and then cut a new blade for you. This is a quick fix. Faulty Receiver Module If your Peugeot key fob isn't working after dropping it on the floor, getting exposed to a sudden downpour or accidently washing it or washing it, it could be due a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequencies to the onboard computer which manages the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle. The key fob itself has rubber seals that block water from reaching the electronic chip inside. However prolonged exposure to water may break through these seals, causing damage to the chip. Submerging the key fob in sea water at the beach or throwing it into the pool could be particularly damaging due to the high salt content. The module needs to be replaced if your Peugeot spare key isn't working anymore. This should be done by a Peugeot specialist or expert auto locksmith. As opposed to other cars, Peugeot keys are protected by an unique immobilizer system that requires the correct coding for the start of the engine. This is why you should choose a reputable Peugeot locksmith to take on the job of creating and programming an appropriate replacement. G28 Car Keys on-board is not working properly The computer on board in your Peugeot is responsible for many of the systems within your car, ranging from airbags to power windows. When something goes wrong in these systems, it'll typically show a code that identifies the problem. The code is stored in the system until the issue is fixed. Usually, this will mean replacing the onboard computer. The most common reason for the warning light of the airbag 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 resolved as soon as you can, as an airbag that is malfunctioning can be dangerous in the event an accident. If you notice an error message stating that the card is not found on your Peugeot, the key battery in the key fob could be weak or dead. This will stop the key fob from sending a signal that will disable the vehicle's immobilizer. You can test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob and then trying to start your vehicle. If this doesn't work then the battery in the key fob must be replaced.
