Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting Citroen Berlingo Multispace fills a niche in the market for people carriers. Its sliding rear door makes it easy to fit into bay parking spaces and its sturdy cabin is more durable than many upmarket rivals. However, if your device has bathed in soapy or salt water, it could not be working again, even after a new battery and changing the program. 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 lay G28CarKeys with the button side down and allow it to drain for a short time while you wipe the inside down with a cloth. This will 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 the symbol of a car key, appears to be lit, then it could indicate a fault with the immobilizer. This is a security device in the vehicle that prevents thieves from wiring hotspots. If this is the case, then you must go to an Citroen dealer or a qualified mechanic to address the problem. A continuous engine warning light could mean that the electronic power assisted steering is malfunctioning. If this is the case, then you must take the car off and check that the pressure in the oil is in good order and that the temperature isn't too high before you start it. If the problem persists then you will need to see an authorized Citroen dealer or mechanic in order to resolve the issue. Dead Battery The most common cause of the key fob not functioning in your Berlingo is a dead coin battery. The button cell battery that is in the key is very easy to replace, however you should ensure that you select the correct voltage, size and type of battery. A non-compatible battery can damage the circuit board. A dead battery for a coin-cell could also disable the anti-theft feature. This is a precautionary measure that prevents the engine from getting started without an actual key. If the key fob still does not respond to the lock button, even after replacing the battery it could be because the receiver module has failed and isn't communicating with other modules in your vehicle. This can be identified using an OBDII scan tool. If the key fob still not responding, try reprogramming. To do this, follow the directions in your owner’s manual. Once the device is reprogrammed device should be working perfectly. Diagnostics of a fault Citroen Berlingo owners are generally pleased with the reliability of their vehicle. As with all vehicles, there are a few issues that can arise. One of the most frequent is a dead battery on the key fob. This is a simple problem to identify and can be fixed in just a few minutes. Other issues that can occur include a worn-out button or a water damage to an electronic chip, signal interference or a remote keyless system receiver module that has developed an issue. It is important to remember that not all key fob batteries are made to be the same. Some batteries are made from inferior materials that can damage your remote as well as other electronic. When replacing the battery, make sure you make sure the replacement battery is 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, make sure the positive (+) face of the battery is facing upwards. If you see the warning light on your car's dashboard that looks like a triangle with an exclamation mark on it, this signifies that the vehicle has detected an issue with its electric power-assisted steering. If this warning light comes on while you're driving then we recommend that you seek out a certified mechanic at an Citroen Berlingo dealer (incl Multispace). Radio Interference If your key fob isn't functioning at all, it could be a result of radio interference. This issue can be caused by devices using the same frequency as remote controls. For example, some wireless security systems, as well as aftermarket LED lights can interfere with RF signals. If you own any of these at home, consider moving them to a different room to see if they help. In addition to devices that operate on the same frequency, there are environmental factors that could affect the signal of a car's key fob. Metal objects, like a car can affect the strength of the signal. Rainy weather can also alter the antenna of the fob, resulting in a weaker radio signal. In some cases the key fob might not be able to respond to radio signals even when it is near to the vehicle. To ensure that your key fob's health is good examine the battery. It must be in good working order and the contacts must be free of corrosion. A damaged connection is the main reason why the keyfob isn't responding to radio signals coming from the vehicle. A drained battery may cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery and the problem persists, it's a good indication that the antenna is faulty. Locksmiths can check the keyfob to make repairs.
