Lost Keys

Peugeot is known for its top-quality automobiles. These cars feature a robust security system that blocks any unauthorised use of the vehicle.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you have used to start your car is the one that it expects. This is done by sending a signal via an antenna that is connected to the microchip in your key to the ignition. This is a safety feature that prevents your car from being taken away.

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console if the immobilizer is receiving an error code that is different from the one it is expecting. This indicates there is an issue and you will have to take the car to an Peugeot dealer to have it reset and the keys reprogrammed.

If you've accidentally swapped your original Peugeot key case with another (and therefore lost the transponder chip), or you have damaged your key by getting it wet, it's nothing to worry about. The most common immobilizer problems result from a depleted battery, a damaged key antenna, or an electronic failure within the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to do something different in the early 2000s. Instead of the stable type of carbon encased transponder chips, they came up with a flip key design. The new design did not come without its problems. One of the most problematic is the wobble of the key blade. This issue occurs when the blade of the key, which is basically the mouth part that goes into the lock first, wears. The silver button inside the lock stops flipping the mechanism, and the key won't feed into the lock.

It is fixable by a new blade that is cut according to. It is crucial that the blade is copied from your old key, and not a generic replacement because this will not give you a true shape and will wear exactly in the same manner as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith will be able to fit you with a new blade to solve this issue.

Key Blade Damage

The blade of the key or, to be more precise, the "mouth"' of the lock key may wear out. If the key isn't removed quickly, it will get stuck in the lock. This then leads to the dreaded "Immobiliser Fault which appears on your dashboard. There are a lot of fairy tale beliefs on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that a new key blade is needed.

Fortunately, it is inexpensive to complete and can be done by local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They will simply need to cut a fresh blade and put it on the Peugeot 207 key.

The circuit board which generates the signal for the transponder chip begins to show tiny hairline cracks after around five years. These cracks are not affecting the chip, but they could cause other issues for your Peugeot flip key.

One of the most significant issues with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism - which holds the blade in place - doesn't work very well. This is particularly relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the fact that this key's "flip mechanism" has changed from the previous model that was carbon-encased. This change has brought about four major issues that could cause problems to your Peugeot key from working.
