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 tough cabin can withstand more abuse than the majority of upmarket competitors. However, if the device has bathed in soapy or salt water, it could not function properly again – even after a fresh battery and programming. The internal chip can be damaged because of exposure to water. Water Damage After retrieving your key fob from the puddle, pool or washing machine it was swimming in, clear it of the most water you can by shaking it. Lay it on its back with the button facing down, and let it drain for a few minutes while you wipe down the inside with a soft cloth. This will prevent 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, appears to be lit, then it could indicate a fault with the immobilizer. This is a security feature in the vehicle to prevent thieves from hotwiring. If this is the situation you'll need to see a Citroen dealer or a trained mechanic to fix the issue. G28CarKeys on engine warning light could indicate that the electric power-assisted steering is in trouble. If this is the case, you should stop the vehicle and check the oil pressure and temperature before starting it. If the problem continues to persist then you should visit a Citroen dealership or trained mechanic to resolve the issue. Dead Battery A dead battery for your coin is the most common reason for your key fob to not work in your Berlingo. The button cell battery within the key is easy to replace, but it is important to ensure that you use the correct voltage size and type of battery. An uncompatible battery can harm the circuit. A dead coin battery may also disable the anti-theft system. This is a security measure that stops the engine from starting without the physical key. If the key fob still doesn't respond to the lock button, even after replacing the battery, it could be because the receiver module is faulty and is not communicating with other modules in your vehicle. This can be detected using an OBDII scan tool. If the key fob still is not responding, you can try reprogramming it. To do this, follow the instructions in the owner's manual. It should be working fine after it is reset to its original program. Troubleshooting Citroen Berlingo owners are generally pleased with the reliability of their vehicle. Like all vehicles, problems can happen. A key fob that is dead is one of the most frequent issues. Fortunately, it is simple to determine and is easily replaced within a matter of minutes. Other issues that can occur could be caused by a worn or damaged button or button, water damage to the electronic chip, signal interference or a remote keyless system receiver module that has developed an issue. It is important to realize that not all keyfob batteries will be the same. Certain batteries are made from inferior materials and may damage your remote key fob or other electronic components in your car. When replacing the battery, you should make sure you use a battery of the same type and voltage as the original. Also, make sure the new battery is installed correctly. Ensure the positive (+) side of the battery faces upwards when inserted into the slot for the battery. If you notice an exclamation mark in the form of an oval on your dashboard, it means that there is a problem with the electric power-assisted driving system in your vehicle. If this warning illuminates while driving, it's recommended that you seek help from a qualified mechanic or Citroen Berlingo (incl Multispace) dealership. Radio Interference Radio interference could be a cause your key fob's not working at all times. This is a frequent issue caused by devices that operate on the same frequency as your remote control. Some wireless security systems, such as LED lights that are sold aftermarket, may interfere with RF signal. Try moving these devices to another location if you have them at home. Environmental influences can also disrupt the key fob of a car as well as other devices that operate on the same frequency. Metal objects, for example can affect the strength of the signal. The weather can also bend the antenna of the fob, resulting in a weaker radio signal. In some instances the key fob might not respond to radio signals, even if it is located near the vehicle. Check the battery to ensure your key fob's health. It must be in good health and the contacts should be free of corrosion. A corroded connection is the primary reason the keyfob doesn't respond to radio signals from vehicles. A drained battery can cause the fob to malfunction. If the problem persists after replacing the battery, the antenna might be damaged. Locksmiths can check the keyfob and fix it.
