Why Citroen C1 Replacement Key Is Your Next Big Obsession
Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting

Citroen Berlingo Multispace fills a niche in the market for people carriers. Its sliding rear door allows it to be easily inserted into bay parking spaces and its tough cabin is more durable than most upmarket competitor offerings.

If your key fob was submerged in saltwater or soapy liquid it might not function in the future, even after replacing the battery and changing the program. The internal chip may be damaged by exposure to water.

Water Damage

Shake your key fob to remove as much water as you can. Lay it down with the button facing down and let it dry for a couple of minutes while you wipe down the inside using a soft cloth. This will stop any condensation from causing damage to the electronic chip.

If the dashboard warning light that looks like a vehicle with the key symbol appears on your Mk 2 or Mk 3 Citroen Berlingo then this could be a sign of an immobilizer issue. This is a security element that is installed in the vehicle to stop thieves from stealing it. If this is the situation you'll have to visit an Citroen dealer or a trained mechanic to fix the issue.

If this is the case you need to stop the vehicle and check the temperature and pressure in the engine prior to resuming it. If the problem persists, you will need to visit a Citroen dealership or a trained mechanic to fix the issue.

Dead Battery

A dead coin battery is the most common reason for your key fob not to function in your Berlingo. The button cell battery within the key is very easy to replace, but you must ensure that you choose the right voltage and size battery. A non-compatible cell can damage the circuit. A dead battery for a coin can also disable the anti-theft system. This is a safety feature that prevents the engine from being started without a physical key.

If the key fob isn't responding to the lock button after replacing the battery, it could be because the receiver module is damaged and is not communicating with other modules in your vehicle. OBDII scanners can identify the issue.

If the key fob is still not responding, try reprogramming it. To do this, follow the steps in your owner’s manual. It should be working fine after it has been reprogrammed.

Fault Diagnosis

Citroen Berlingo owners are generally pleased with the reliability of their vehicle. However, like all vehicles there are occasional issues that can arise. One of the most common is a dead battery on the key fob. It is a simple issue to determine and can be fixed in just a few minutes. Other issues that can occur include a worn-out 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 know that not all key fob batteries are made to be the same. Some batteries are made from inferior materials and could cause damage to your remote as well as other electronic. When replacing the battery, ensure you use a battery that is of the same type and voltage as the original. Also, make sure the new battery is properly fitted. Ensure the positive (+) side of the battery is facing upwards when inserted into the slot for the battery.

If you notice an exclamation point in the shape of a triangle on the dashboard, it's a sign that there is a problem with your vehicle's electric power assisted driving. If the warning light illuminates while driving, it's advised to seek help from a certified mechanic or Citroen Berlingo (incl Multispace) dealership.

Radio Interference

If your key fob stops functioning at all, it could be a result of radio interference. This is a common problem caused by devices that use the same frequency as your remote control. Certain wireless security devices, such as LED lights sold on the market, can interfere with the RF signal. If you have any of these devices at home, try moving them to a different room to see if they help.

Environmental factors can also affect the key fob of the car and other devices using the same frequency. Metal objects, for example could interfere with the strength of the signal. The weather can also bend the antenna of the fob, which results in a weaker radio signal. In certain situations the key fob might not respond to the radio signals even if it is near to the vehicle.

To ensure that your key fob's health is good make sure you check the battery. It should be in good condition and the contacts should be free of corrosion. A corroded connection is the main reason why the keyfob doesn't respond to radio signals coming from vehicles. A depleted or damaged battery can cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery but the problem persists, it's possible that the antenna is damaged. A locksmith can examine the keyfob, and make repairs.
