10 Healthy Citroen Replacement Key Habits
Citroen Dispatching Remote Key Replacement
Prior to 1997, Citroen vehicles were equipped with keys that do not utilise transponders (chip). These key types can be programmed on site without the need for special equipment.
If your key fob stops functioning, it could be due to a few different causes such as: worn buttons or battery contacts that are not making contact, water damage to the receiver module, or key issues.
Troubleshooting
Fault diagnosis is the process of pinpointing one or more root causes of problems to the point where corrective action can be taken. This is usually referred to as fault isolation and is an essential component of the automation of operations management systems. It involves three steps: detection, localization, and estimation.
Common methods for fault detection employ simulation to determine possible responses a test could have in the case of various faults, and then record these expected results in a database. Then, when an experiment is performed and the results are compared to the expected results. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The process of identifying faults is typically iterative and is described as a diagnostic tree.

Dead Coin Battery
The most common reason for keys that don't lock or unlocking is a dead coin battery. The button cell battery inside the key fob is held in place by metal retaining clips. These clips can loosen and weaken with time. Replace the old battery by one of a new model that has the same voltage, size, and specification. Make sure the metal clip for retaining has been correctly installed. A button cell battery that has been replaced incorrectly can damage the electronic chip.
Faulty Key Fob
There are some things that could be wrong with your Citroen dispatch remote key. It could be caused by a damaged transmitter or an inactive battery. The fob may be rattling and the LED lights aren't functioning. In such cases you must contact an auto locksmith to address the problem.
The remote car key, also referred to as the smart key, incorporates a transponder into the head to communicate with the immobiliser of the car and allows it to start the car once you insert the key. These keys are extremely popular with customers because of their convenience and dependability. They are also robust and can be dropped, squeezed or toss around, unlike the old flip keys which are now obsolete.
However, it is important to keep in mind that if your key doesn't start your car, then the issue is likely to be with the immobiliser system in the vehicle, not the key. It is not enough to just replace the key. It has to be programmed using the correct equipment by an auto locksmith. This will require a new transponder chip to be programmed into the key, to ensure that it is compatible with the car and can unlock and open the door at a distance without having to physically reach the lock on the door.
Faulty Receiver Module
The remote keyless system receiver module allows the key fobs to communicate with your vehicle. If none of the key fobs is working, and you have checked the battery for life and reprogrammed them, then it could be because the receiver module has developed a fault.
It could have stopped sending radio frequency signals, or it could just be faulty due to ageing. This is a common problem and a locksmith for autos will need to replace it.
