Citroen Dispatching Remote Key Replacement

If your key fob's not functioning, it could be due a number of reasons, including damaged buttons, defective battery contacts water damage, or even issues with the receiver module.
Fault Diagnosis
Fault diagnosis is the process of pinpointing the root cause of issues, to the point where corrective measures can be taken. This is commonly referred to by the term fault isolation, and is an essential part of automated systems for operations management. It consists of three steps including detection, localization and estimation.
Simulation is a common method to diagnose faults. It lets you identify possible responses to tests in the presence of different faults. The results are stored in databases. After an experiment is conducted the actual results of the test are compared to these expected ones. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The process of identifying mistakes is typically iterative and described as a diagnosis tree.
A car remote may become out of sync, causing it to not function properly.

This is an easy and quick procedure that can be completed in just five minutes. It is possible to repeat this procedure for a second plip when the first one doesn't work.
Dead Coin Battery
The most frequent cause for keys that are not locking or unlocking is a dead coin battery. Metal clips are what hold the button cell batteries in the key fob. As time passes the clips will become looser and weaker. Replace the old battery with one of a new model that has the same voltage, size and specification. Check that the metal retaining clip has been correctly installed. A button cell battery installed improperly could damage the electronic chip.
Key fob not working properly

A remote car key (also known as a smart key) utilizes a transponder chip inside the head of the key to communicate with the car's immobiliser system and permit it to start when you insert the key into the ignition. People love these keys because they are easy to use and reliable. They are also sturdy and can be dropped, squeezed, or scattered around, as opposed to the old flip keys that are now obsolete.
However it is important to remember that if the key doesn't start your car then the problem is likely with the immobiliser in the vehicle and not the key itself. It's not enough to just replace the key, it needs to be programmed using the correct equipment by an auto locksmith. This will require an entirely new transponder chip to be programed into the key so that it can be used with the car and is able to open and lock it from a distance without needing to physically reach the door lock.
Faulty Receiver Module
The remote keyless receiver module allows your key fobs and vehicles to communicate. If you've verified that the batteries for your coin are working and you've reprogrammed the key fobs, but they aren't working, it could be the receiver module.
It could have stopped sending radio frequency signals or it could be malfunctioning due to ageing. In either case, it is a common fault and will generally need to be replaced by a licensed auto locksmith.
