Lost Keys

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer system on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you used to start your vehicle is the one it expects. This is accomplished by transmitting a signal through an antenna that is connected to the microchip inside your key to the ignition. This is a security device designed to prevent your car from being taken.

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console if the immobilizer detects an incorrect code from the one it is expecting. This indicates that something is wrong and you may have to surrender the car at a Peugeot dealer with your registration card and identity document, in order to have the system reset and the keys programmed.

There's usually no need to worry unless you have accidentally switched the original Peugeot keycase for a different one (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key after it was wet. Most immobilizer issues result from a depleted battery, a broken key antenna, or a electronic problem in the module and engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to test something different in the beginning of 2000's. In the early 2000's, the company introduced a flip-key design instead of the reliable type of transponder chip that was encased in carbon. Unfortunately the new design had a number of major problems and one of the principal ones is the key blade wobble. This problem is caused when the blade of the key, which is the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop turning the mechanism, and the key ceases to feed in to the lock properly.

It is fixable by a new blade that is cut to the correct size. It is crucial that the blade is copied from the worn-out key and not a generic one since the latter does not reflect the exact shape of your key and will continue to wear in the same manner. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a brand new blade to help you solve this problem.

Key Blade Damage

This then leads to the common 'Immobiliser Fail that appears on your dashboard. There are a myriad of myths about how to fix this problem, but the truth is that the replacement of the key blade is needed.

Luckily, this is inexpensive to complete and can be done by a local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll simply need to cut a fresh blade and then attach it to the Peugeot 207 key.

A high-quality Peugeot flip key should last for five years or more before tiny hairline cracks start to appear on the circuit board that creates the transponder chip's signal. These cracks aren't affecting the chip, but they could cause other problems for your Peugeot key.

One of the most significant issues with the Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism - which holds the blade in place isn't working very well. This is particularly the case with the Peugeot Partner, 407 and 107 models. This is due to the layout of this key's flip mechanism is different from the old type, carbon-encased key. This change has caused four major issues that may hinder your Peugeot key from working.
