Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies the key that you used to start the car is the right one. This is accomplished by sending a signal via an antenna that is connected to the microchip in your key to the ignition. This is a security feature that protects your vehicle from being stolen.

The most frequent problems with immobilizers are caused by a dead battery, a broken key antenna, or a electronic problem within the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in the early 2000s. In the early 2000's, the company introduced a flip-key style instead of the more reliable transponder chip that was encased in carbon. Unfortunately, the new design came with many major issues and one of the most prominent is the key blade wobble. This happens when the key blade which is basically the mouth part that goes into the lock first, wears. This causes the silver button within the key to stop flipping out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock properly.

It is fixable with a new blade cut to match. It is crucial that the blade is duplicated from your worn-out key and not a generic model, because the latter won't give you the true shape of the key and will continue to wear in the same manner. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith will be able to fit you with a new blade and solve this issue.

Key Blade Damage

The key blade or to be more precise, the "mouth" of the lock key, will wear down. If the key isn't removed as quickly as it should, it could become stuck in the lock. This leads to the common 'Immobiliser Fail appearing on your dashboard. There are numerous fairy tales about how to fix the issue, but in the end the need for a new blade is evident.

This is a relatively cheap task that can be accomplished by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll simply need to cut a new blade and attach it to the Peugeot 207 key.

A good Peugeot flip key should last for five years or more before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board that creates the transponder chip signal. These cracks do not affect the chip, but they could cause other problems with your Peugeot flip key.

The flip mechanism, which holds the blade in position it isn't the most reliable. This is particularly true of the Peugeot Partner 107, 407 and 107 series. This is due to the layout of the key's flip mechanism has changed from the previous model, a carbon-encased chip. This change has brought about four major issues that may cause problems to your Peugeot key from working.
