citroen c1 keys Dispatching Remote Key Replacement

From 1997 onwards, Citroen vehicles were equipped with keys that do not utilise a transponder (chip). Keys of this type can be programmed on-site without the need for special equipment.

If your key fob isn't working it could be down to a few different causes such as: worn buttons or battery contacts that are not making contact or water damage to the key or receiver module issues.

Fault Diagnosis

Fault diagnosis is the process of identifying one or more root causes of problems, up to the point that corrective action can be taken. This is commonly referred to by the term fault isolation, and is a critical component of automation systems for operations management. It includes three steps which are localization, estimation and detection.

Simulation is a method used for diagnosing faults. It allows you to determine possible responses to tests in the presence of different faults. The results are stored in databases. Then, after the test is completed, the actual results of the experiment are compared with these expected results. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The method of identifying faults usually iterative, and is described as a diagnostic tree.

A car remote key can not be in the vehicle's sync, resulting in it not working correctly.

This is an easy and quick procedure that can be completed in only five seconds. You can repeat the process for a second plip if your first one does not work.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is the most frequent cause of a Jumpy key fob that doesn't lock or unlock. The button cell battery inside the key fob is secured by retaining clips made of steel. They can loosen and weaken with time. Replace the old battery with the new one that is identical in size, voltage and specifications. Also, ensure that the metal retaining clip is correctly fitted as incorrectly replacing the battery of a button cell could damage the internal electronic chip.

Key fob in error

There are several things that could cause issues with your Citroen dispatch remote key. It could be caused by a damaged transmitter or a dead battery. You may hear loose parts rattling around inside of the fob, and the LED lights may not be functioning. In these instances, you need to call an auto locksmith for assistance in fixing the issue.

The remote car key, also known as the smart key, utilizes a transponder inside the head to communicate with the immobiliser system of the vehicle and will start when you insert the key. They are extremely popular with customers because of their convenience and dependability. The keys can be dropped, squeezed, or thrown, unlike the old flip-key types that are now obsolete.

However it is vital to note that if the key won't start your car, then the issue is likely to be with the immobiliser system in the vehicle, not the key itself. If replacing the key isn't enough, it needs to be programmed by an auto locksmith that has the right equipment. This will require an entirely new transponder chip to be programmed into the key, so it works with the car and can unlock and open it from a distance without needing to physically touch the lock on the door.

Faulty Receiver Module

The remote keyless system receiver module is what lets the key fobs communicate with your vehicle. If you have checked that the battery for your coin is working and reprogrammed the key fobs, but they still don't work, it could be the receiver module.

It may have stopped transmitting radio frequency signals, or it may have simply become faulty because of ageing. Either way, this is a common problem, and it will usually need replacing by a qualified auto locksmith.
