Dead Coin Battery A dead coin battery will stop your Peugeot 208 from locking and unlocking, as well as hindering it from starting the engine. In this situation you'll need make use of the alternative method for starting found in your vehicle's owner's manual. The spark plugs may also be worn out. The spark plugs are responsible for sparking the fuel that starts the engine. However they have a finite time of life. If they aren't used enough, they will eventually fail. There is a simple solution for this problem. The best solution is to determine the voltage of your car battery using a multimeter. If the voltage falls below 11,5 volts, then it's time to replace it. If the battery is damaged it is essential to clean its contacts.

Then, reconnect the positive pole cables to the negative. Water Damage If your 208 won't start and the battery hasn't failed, you should check the spark plugs. It could be that they are simply too filthy and don't spark. This can be fixed easily by cleaning the spark plugs in an workshop. Peugeot cars use a transponder style key that works with the car's immobiliser system. This guarantees that only the right key is able to turn the engine. If the chip inside the Peugeot key is damaged, it will not send the correct signal to the vehicle. Water damage is a common reason for this issue. This is a typical issue in warmer climates where the vehicle is exposed to rain or snow. In this instance, you should contact a reputable locksmith who has the tools and equipment required to change the key's programming. They also have the most up-to-date technology and equipment needed to make a Peugeot 208 smart key. The process should take no more than 15 minutes. Faulty Battery Contacts Peugeot replaced the transponder chips with a brand new model that is based on electronic components that are mounted on a circuitboard. The new system is excellent when it's brand new, but the circuit boards begin to degrade with time and cease to function properly. This can prevent the immobiliser from working, so your vehicle won't start. If this happens it's a good idea to get in touch with a Peugeot specialist or locksmith. The most frequent issue is when the battery of the key fob begins to die. This causes the blade of the key to stop feeding into your lock. A locksmith in your car can replace the battery and cut a fresh blade for you, this is generally a quick fix. Faulty Receiver Module It could be that the receiver module is defective if your Peugeot key fob fails to function after being dropped on the floor, or exposed to a sudden storm or accidentally washed. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequency to the onboard computer which regulates the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle. The rubber seals on the key fob keep water from reaching the electronic chip. However, prolonged exposure to water could cause damage to these seals and the chip. The high salt content of the pool or ocean water could cause damage to the key fob, especially if it is submerged.
Computer on board is not working properly The on-board computer inside your Peugeot is responsible for a number of the systems within your car, ranging from power windows to the airbags. If something is wrong with these systems, it'll typically show a code that identifies the issue. This code will be stored within the system until the issue is fixed. In most cases, this will require replacing the onboard computer. One of the most frequent causes of the airbag light coming on is loose or corroded connection in the airbag sensor. This can be caused by wear and tear, ageing, or exposure to moisture and salt. It is essential to have this issue addressed as soon as possible, since an airbag that is malfunctioning can be dangerous in the event an accident. If you find an error message that says "card not found" on your Peugeot key fob, the battery in the key fob could be dead or weak. This can prevent the key fob from sending a signal that disarms the standard immobilizer in your vehicle. You can test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob and then attempting to start your car. If this doesn't work it is likely that the battery will need replacing. |
