Peugeot keyfobs in the 206 series can have the button-cell battery fails. This video shows how to replace the button cell battery.

The Immobilizer System

When you turn and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits an electronic code to the engine control system. If the code doesn't match the code, the engine won't start. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert automotive locksmith can help. They can use dealer-standard tools to program a brand new key or replace your old one. This will save you time and money. They will also come to you so you won't have to wait for a long time in the dealership.

Not all antitheft gadgets are created equally. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they are in compliance with the highest safety standards. They can test the system's functionality by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer components and the CAN bus.

Even the best systems are vulnerable if they're targeted correctly. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol in order to stealthily crack three cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to get the security code of a vehicle from one of them. This information is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. peugeot keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually, they were.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip matches the code in the car's immobilizer system, the car will begin.

This is a crucial anti-theft feature that helps prevent thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key the engine won't turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with sophisticated electronic Engine Immobilizers that use changing codes that roll. The intelligent system will change the second code each time the key is used, and insert it into the chip of the key. The first code remains in place and each time the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if the two codes match.

This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles can't be started. If your Peugeot starts but then shuts down then it's not the immobilizer. It could be one of many electrical issues causing the car to not work. Our auto locksmiths are able to help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram chipped or smart Peugeot Key to ensure it works again.

The Battery

Peugeot keys for cars contain the transponder chip that, when coupled with the vehicle, deactivates the immobiliser system of the vehicle located within the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of a manual or remote key.

Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 was introduced in 1999, from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it wouldn't directly replace the 205, rather it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 might take sales away from the more expensive quality 205s.

The 206 model range includes three models: a hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 dubbed the 207 GTi that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had a top speed of 210 km/h.

The peugeot 206 is a sought-after choice for those looking for an attractive and affordable family car. But, like any vehicle, problems can occur, and they can cause an inability for the car to start or the key fob to stop working.

The Key Fob

Peugeot is a French automobile manufacturer established in 1810. Peugeot is owned by PSA Peugeot Citroen. Peugeot cars are often considered as one of the best in their class. It is possible to replace your Peugeot key fob if it's worn out or broken. You will need to transfer the immobilizer chip, battery, and electronics from your previous key fob to the new one.

Test the new key in your vehicle to make sure it works as intended. Ensure all doors are closed, turn the ignition OFF and then press the lock button on the fob two times. If the LED stops blinking, it's working. If it's not working it could be because you forgot to transfer your transponder chip.
