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

The Immobilizer System

When you turn on and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code does not match the code, the engine won't start. This prevents unauthorized car theft. If you're having problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a professional locksmith in the automotive industry can help. They can program a new or replacement key by using tools used for dealers. This will save you time and money. You won't need to wait long at the dealership because they will come to you.

However it is true that not all antitheft systems are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and evaluates them to ensure they comply with high safety standards. They can verify the system's operation by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer's components and CAN bus traffic.

However, even the most secure systems can be cracked in the right way if they are targeted. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to unlock three cars including all models from the past. It took only 10 seconds to obtain the security code of a vehicle from one of the three. This information is used to generate keys that disable the immobilizer. The other two were harder to crack but they did get broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key or Smart Key, has a RFID microchip which transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on the chip is identical to that on the car's system the car will start.

This is a very important security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to start regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ changing or rolling security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code every time the key is used, and insert it into chip of the key. The first code is permanent and each time the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if they match.

This is a highly sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is why most stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. It's also the reason that when your Peugeot starts to run but then shuts down it's not likely to be the immobilizer. There could be a myriad of electrical problems that are causing your car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths are able to resolve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work once more.

The Battery

Peugeot car keys include the transponder chip that, when coupled with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser system inside the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob access to the doors and boot. The chip is hidden in the head of a remote or manual key.

Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both Peugeot 306 and 106 were designed to take the sales of the higher-end 205s.

The 206 model range includes three models: the hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of the 206 that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.

The peugeot 206 is a well-loved choice for those looking for an affordable and stylish family car. Like any vehicle there are issues that can arise. These can include the difficulty in starting the vehicle or the key fob that is no longer working.

The Key Fob

Peugeot is a French car manufacturer established in 1810. Peugeot is owned by PSA Peugeot Citroen. Peugeot automobiles are often regarded to be among the top in their class. If your Peugeot key fob has worn out or is damaged, it is possible to replace it. All you have to do is transfer the electronic components, battery and immobilizer chip from your old key to the new fob.

To ensure that the new key works properly, test it in your vehicle. Make sure all doors are shut and turn off the ignition and then press the lock button on the fob two times. If the LED ceases to flash, it is functioning. If it's not working you may have forgotten to transfer your transponder chip.
