Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting Citroen's Berlingo Multispace occupies a utilitarian niche in the people carrier market. Its sliding rear doors allow it to fit into bay parking spaces and its durable cabin is more smack-proof than most upmarket rival offerings. However, if your device has bathed in soapy or salt water, it could not work again – even after a new battery and reprogramming. The internal chip has been damaged by exposure to water. Water Damage After retrieving your key fob from whatever puddle, pool or washing machine it was swimming in, clean 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 wipe down the inside using a soft cloth. This will stop any condensation from damaging the electronic chip. If the warning light on your dashboard that looks like a car with a key symbol in it appears on your Mk 2 or Mk 3 Citroen Berlingo then it could indicate an immobilizer fault. It is a security device that is installed in the vehicle to stop thieves from stealing it. If this is the case, then you should see an Citroen dealership or trained mechanic to resolve the problem. A continuous engine warning light could indicate that the electric power assisted steering system is malfunctioning. If this is the situation, you should take the vehicle off the road and check the temperature and pressure in the engine before resuming the. If the issue continues, you'll have to visit a Citroen dealership or a trained mechanic to fix the problem. Dead Battery A dead battery for your coin is the most common reason for your key fob not to function in your Berlingo. The button cell battery in the key is simple to replace, but you must ensure that you use the correct voltage size and type of battery. An uncompatible battery can harm the circuit. A dead battery for a coin-cell could also disable anti-theft. This is a precautionary measure that prevents the engine from getting started without the physical key. If the key fob doesn't respond to the lock button, even after replacing the battery it could be that the receiver module is defective and is not communicating with other modules in your vehicle. This can be detected using an OBDII scan tool. If The Keylab fob isn't working, you can try reprogramming the key fob. Follow the directions in your owner's manual to do this. It should work fine once it is reset to its original program. Fault Diagnosis The reliability of the Citroen Berlingo is generally highly praised by its owners. Like all vehicles, problems can happen. A dead key fob is among of the most frequent issues. Fortunately, this is easy to diagnose and is easily replaced in just a few minutes. Other problems could be a worn button, water damage to the electronic chip or signal, interference, or a remote system receiver module that is defective. It is important to know that not all keyfob batteries are the same. Some batteries are made of inferior materials and may damage the remote key fob, or other electronic components in your car. When replacing the battery, ensure you make sure that the battery is of the same voltage and type as the original. Make sure that the new battery fits correctly. When inserting the battery into the slot, make sure the positive (+) face of the battery is facing upwards. If you notice an exclamation point in the form of a triangle on your dashboard, it means that there is an issue with the electric power-assisted driving system in your vehicle. If the warning light is illuminated when you drive then we recommend that you seek out a certified mechanic at an Citroen Berlingo dealership (incl Multispace). Radio Interference Radio interference could be the reason your key fob's not functioning at all. This is a common problem caused by devices that operate on the same frequency as your remote control. Some wireless security systems, like LED lights aftermarket, can interfere with the RF signal. If you own one of these gadgets at home, consider moving them to another room to see if they help. In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are also environmental factors that can affect the signal of a car's key fob. For instance, metal objects could alter the strength of the signal. Rainy weather may also bend the antenna of the fob, resulting in a weaker radio signal. In some instances, the key fob may not respond to radio signals even if it is within range of the vehicle. Examine the battery to ensure the health of your key fob. The battery is in good condition and the contacts shouldn't be affected by corrosion. A corroded or damaged connection is the primary reason the keyfob doesn't respond to radio signals coming from a vehicle. A drained battery may cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery, but the problem persists, it's a good indication that the antenna is damaged. Locksmiths can check the keyfob and make repairs.
