Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting Citroen's Berlingo Multispace occupies a utilitarian niche in the people carrier market. Its sliding doors at the rear make it easy to squeeze into parking bays and its robust cabin is more bashing-proof than the majority of upmarket competitors. However, if your device was bathed in soapy salt water, it could not function properly again – even after a fresh battery and updating. This is because the internal chip has been damaged due to exposure to water. Water Damage Shake your key fob to remove as much water as you can. Then, place it with the button facing down and let it drain for a few minutes as you wipe the inside down using a cloth. This should prevent any condensation from causing damage to the electronic chip. If the dashboard warning light that looks like a car with an image of a key is on your Mk 2 or Mk 3 Citroen Berlingo then it could be an indication of an immobilizer fault. This is a security feature in the vehicle to prevent thieves from installing hotwires. If this is the case you'll need to see an Citroen dealer or a certified mechanic to fix the issue. TheKeyLab warning light could indicate that the steering system with electric power is not working properly. If this is the case you need to stop the vehicle and check the temperature and pressure of your oil before starting it. If the problem continues to persist and you are unable to resolve it, visit a Citroen dealer or trained mechanic to resolve the problem. Dead Battery A dead coin battery is the most common reason for your key fob not to work in your Berlingo. The button cell in the key can be easily replaced, but it is important to select the correct voltage, size and type of battery. An uncompatible battery can harm the circuit. A dead coin-cell can also disable anti-theft. This is a security feature that prevents the engine from starting without the physical key. If the key fob still not responding to the lock button after replacing the battery, it could be an unreliable receiver module that is not communicating with the other modules in your vehicle. OBDII scanners can identify this issue. If the key fob still isn't working, you can try reprogramming the key fob. Follow the steps in the owner's manual for this procedure. After the device has been reprogrammed, your device should function perfectly. Troubleshooting Citroen Berlingo owners are generally satisfied with the reliability of the car. As with all vehicles problems can happen. A dead key fob is among of the most frequent problems. It is a simple issue to diagnose and can easily be repaired in a matter of minutes. Other problems that can arise include a worn-out button or button, water damage to the electronic chip, signal interference or a remote keyless system receiver module that has developed a fault. It is crucial to understand that not all keyfob batteries are the same. Some batteries are constructed from inferior materials, which can cause damage to your remote or other electronic components. When replacing the battery, you should make sure that the battery is of the same voltage and type as the original. Also, ensure the new battery is installed 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 mark in the form of the shape of a triangle on your dashboard, it indicates that there is an issue with your vehicle's electric power-assisted driving. If this warning light comes on when you drive then we recommend that you speak with a certified mechanic at a Citroen Berlingo dealer (incl Multispace). Radio Interference If your key fob stops working suddenly, it could be a result of radio interference. This issue could be caused by devices that use the same frequency as a remote control. For example, some wireless security systems as well as aftermarket LED lights can interfere with radio frequency signals. If you own any of these at home, you can try moving them into a different space to see if this helps. In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are also environmental factors that could interfere with the car's key fob. For instance, metal objects can influence the strength of the signal. The weather's rain can also cause the antenna of the key fob to bend, which can result in weaker signals. In some instances the key fob might not be able to receive radio signals even though it is within range of the vehicle. To ensure that your key fob's health is good examine the battery. The battery should be in good shape and the contacts should not be corroded. A damaged or corroded contact can be a major cause of the fob's key not responding to the vehicle's radio signals. A depleted or damaged battery can cause a fob to malfunction. If the issue persists after replacing the battery, the antenna might be damaged. A professional locksmith will inspect the key fob and make the necessary repairs.
