Citroen Dispatching Remote Key Replacement

Up to 1997 Citroen vehicles were equipped with keys that did not use a transponder (chip). These key types can be programmed on site with no need for specialist equipment.

If your key fob stops functioning, it could be due to a number of different causes such as: worn buttons, battery contacts not making contact, water damage to the receiver module or key issues.

Diagnostics of a fault

Fault diagnosis is a process that identifies the root cause of a fault, so that corrective actions can be taken. It is usually referred to by the term fault isolation, and is a critical component of operations management automaton systems. It consists of three steps: detection, localization, and estimation.

Typical methods for fault diagnosis utilize simulation to find the possible responses to a test in the event of different faults, and then record these expected results in databases. Then, after the test is completed, the actual results of the test are compared to these expected ones. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The method of identifying faults is usually iterative, and can be described as a diagnostic tree.

A car remote key can be out of sync with your vehicle and result in it not functioning properly. This can be easily fixed by an expert mobile technician with the proper equipment, saving you money over a dealership service. Technicians have a special tool to activate the remote plip on your Citroen, returning it to working condition in conjunction with the vehicle. This is a fast and simple process that can be done in about five minutes. It is possible to repeat this procedure for a second plip in case the first one isn't working.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is the most common reason for a jumpy key fob that won't lock or unlock. The button cell battery inside the key fob is secured by clips of metal. Over time these clips may become looser and weaker. Replace the old battery with a brand new one of the same voltage, size and specification. Make sure the metal retaining clip has been correctly installed. A button cell battery replaced incorrectly can damage the electronic chip.

Key Fob Faulty

There are a myriad of things that can go awry with your Citroen remote key. The most common cause is the battery being dead, but it could also be due to a damaged or defective transmitter. There could be loose parts moving around inside the fob, and the LED lights may not be functioning. In these instances, you need to call an auto locksmith to address the issue.

The remote car key, also referred to as the smart key, uses a transponder in the head to connect with the immobiliser system of the car and allows it to start when you insert the key. People love these keys because they are easy to use and reliable. The keys can also be dropped, squeezed, or thrown, unlike the old flip-keys which are no longer in use.

It is important to keep in mind that if your key does not start your vehicle it is likely to be the immobiliser inside the car and not the key. It's not enough to replace the key, it needs to be reprogrammed by an auto locksmith with the right equipment. This will require that a new transponder is inserted into the keys so that they can communicate with the vehicle. They can also open and lock the doors from a distance without touching the lock.

Faulty Receiver Module

The remote keyless system receiver module allows the key fobs to communicate with your vehicle. If none of the key fobs are working, and you have looked over the coin battery for life and reprogrammed them, the possibility is that the receiver module has developed a fault.

It may have stopped sending out radio frequency signals or it may become defective due to aging. In either case, it is a typical issue and will typically require replacement by a certified auto locksmith.
