Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting Citroen's Berlingo Multispace occupies a utilitarian segment in the people-carrier market. G28CarKeys sliding doors at the rear allow it to easily squeeze into bay parking spaces and its robust cabin is more resistant to crashing than many of the more expensive rivals. If your key fob was submerged in soapy water or saltwater, it may not work again, even after a new battery and changing the program. The internal chip may be damaged from exposure to water. Water Damage After you have rescued your key fob from whatever puddle, pool or washing machine it was swimming in, clear it of as much water as possible by shaking it. Lay it down with the button facing down and let it dry for a few minutes before wiping the inside using a soft cloth. This should stop any condensation from causing damage to the electronic chip. If your Mk 2 Citroen Berlingo or Mk 3 Citroen Berlingo dashboard warning light, which looks like a car key symbol, lights up, it could be an issue with the immobilizer. This is a security function in the vehicle to prevent thieves from wiring hotspots. If this is the case then you need to consult a Citroen dealership or trained mechanic to address the problem. A constantly flashing engine warning light could mean that the electronic power assisted steering system is malfunctioning. If this is the case then you must stop the car and test the temperature and pressure of the oil before starting it. If the problem continues to persist and you are unable to resolve it, visit a Citroen dealership or a trained mechanic to fix the problem. Dead Battery A dead coin battery is the most frequent reason for your key fob to not work in your Berlingo. The button cell inside the key can be replaced but it is crucial 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 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 because the receiver module is defective and isn't communicating with other modules in your vehicle. This can be confirmed using an OBDII scan tool. If the key fob still isn't responding, then you can try reprogramming the key fob. To do this, follow the directions in the owner's manual. It should work once it is updated. Troubleshooting Citroen Berlingo owners are generally satisfied with the reliability of their vehicle. Like all vehicles, it is possible for faults to occur. A key fob that is dead is one of the most common problems. Fortunately, it is simple to find and is easily replaced in a few minutes. Other causes include a worn-out button, water damage on the electronic chip, interference in the signal or a remote receiver module with a fault. It is crucial to understand that not all keyfob batteries are the same. Some batteries are made of inferior materials, and can cause damage to your remote key fob as well as other electronic components in your car. Make sure to use only batteries of the same type and voltage as the original when replacing the battery. Make sure the new battery fits properly. Check that the positive (+) side of the battery is facing upwards when it is inserted into the slot for the battery. If you see an exclamation mark in the form of an oval on the dashboard, it's a sign that there is an issue 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 qualified mechanic at a Citroen Berlingo dealer (incl Multispace). Radio Interference Radio interference could be the reason of your key fob not working immediately. This is a common issue caused by devices that use the same frequency as your remote control. For instance, some wireless security systems as well as aftermarket LED lights can interfere with radio frequency signals. If you own one of these gadgets at home, try shifting them to a different area to see if this helps. In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are environmental factors that could affect the signal of a car's key fob. Metal objects, for example can affect the signal strength. Rainy weather can also cause the antenna of the key fob to turn, which results in an ineffective signal. In some cases even if the key fob is close to the vehicle it might not respond to radio signals. To make sure that your key fob is functioning properly and functioning properly, test the battery. The battery should be in good working order and the contacts must not be affected by corrosion. Contacts that are corroded are a major cause of the fob's key not responding to radio signals. A depleted or damaged battery can cause a fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery and the problem persists, it's likely that the antenna is not functioning properly. A professional locksmith can inspect the key fob and make necessary repairs.
