Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting Citroen's Berlingo Multispace occupies a utilitarian space in the people carrier market. Its sliding rear doors allow it to fit into parking bays, and its sturdy cabin is more bashing-proof than the most expensive rivals. If your key fob was submerged in soapy water or saltwater it might not function again, even after a new battery and programming. G28 Car Keys may be damaged because of exposure to water. Water Damage After you have rescued your key fob from the puddle, pool or washing machine it's been swimming in, clear it of as much water as possible by shaking it. Place it on the ground with the button down, and let it drain for a couple of minutes while you clean the inside using a soft cloth. This will prevent any condensation from damaging the electronic chip. If your Mk 2 Citroen Berlingo or Mk 3 Citroen Berlingo dashboard warning light, which looks like an automobile key symbol illuminates then this could indicate a fault with the immobilizer. This is a security feature inside the vehicle that blocks thieves from wiring hotspots. If this is the situation, you will have to visit a Citroen dealer or a trained mechanic to address the issue. A constantly flashing engine warning light may indicate that the electric power assisted steering system is malfunctioning. If this is the case then you must take the vehicle off the road and check the temperature and pressure in the engine before starting it. If the problem continues to persist and you are unable to resolve it, visit a Citroen dealership or a certified mechanic to fix the issue. Dead Battery A dead battery in the coin is the most common reason for your key fob not to work in your Berlingo. The button cell battery within the key is simple to replace, but you should ensure that you are using the correct voltage size, type and size of battery. A non-compatible cell can damage the circuit. A dead battery for a coin-cell could also disable anti-theft. This is a safety feature that prevents the engine from being started without the physical key. If the key fob is still not responding to the lock button after replacing the battery it could be due to an incompatible receiver module that isn't communicating with other modules of your vehicle. This can be diagnosed with an OBDII scan tool. If the key fob still not responding, try reprogramming. Follow the steps in the owner's manual to do this. It should be working fine after it has been reprogrammed. Diagnosis of a Fault Citroen Berlingo owners are generally pleased with the vehicle's reliability. However, as with all vehicles there are some issues that arise. One of the most frequent is the battery for the key fob that is dead. It is a simple issue to diagnose and can easily be fixed in just a few minutes. Other issues include a worn out button, water damage to the electronic chip and interference in the signal or a remote system receiver module that is defective. It is crucial to understand that not all keyfob batteries are same. Certain batteries are made from inferior materials and may damage the remote key fob, or other electronics in your vehicle. When replacing the battery, only make sure you use a battery of the same type and voltage as the original. Make sure that the new one is inserted correctly. When inserting the battery into the slot, ensure that the positive (+) face of the battery is facing towards the upward direction. If you see an exclamation point in the shape of an oval on your dashboard, it means that there is a problem with your vehicle's electric power assisted driving. If the warning light appears while you're driving and you notice it, we suggest that you seek out a certified mechanic at a Citroen Berlingo dealership (incl Multispace). Radio Interference If your key fob isn't working all of a sudden it could be as a result of radio interference. This is a common issue caused by devices that operate on the same frequency as your remote control. For instance, certain wireless security systems, as well as aftermarket LED lights can interfere with radio signals. Try moving these devices into another room if you have them in your home. In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are environmental factors that could interfere with the car's key fob. For instance, metal objects may alter the strength of the signal. Rainy weather may also bend the antenna of the fob, resulting in a weaker radio signal. In certain situations the key fob might not be able to receive radio signals even if it is within range of the vehicle. To make sure that your key fob is in good health examine the battery. It must be in good working order, and the contacts should be free of corrosion. A corroded contact is the primary reason for a key fob that is not responding to radio signals. A depleted battery can also cause fobs to malfunction. If you replace the battery and the issue persists, it's possible that the antenna is defective. A professional locksmith will examine the key fob and make necessary repairs.
