Replacing keys for certain brands of vehicle could be a very costly and stressful process, especially in the event that the vehicle was stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is a car brand that is well-known for producing quality vehicles. These cars feature a robust security system that blocks any the use of the vehicle by anyone who is not authorized.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer system in your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you used to start your car is the one it wants. It does this by sending a signal from the microchip embedded in your key to the ignition switch using an antenna. This is a security feature that protects your vehicle from being taken away.

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console when the immobilizer receives an error code that is different from the one it's expecting. This indicates that something is not right and you may have to surrender your car to an Peugeot dealer with your registration card as well as an identity document to reset the system and the keys programmed.

If you take your keys to a garage that provides this service, they can examine it and determine if the transponder is defective. They can do this for no cost and inform you if the chip is still functioning properly or if there is a problem in the system hindering your Peugeot from getting started.

There is usually no need to worry unless, for instance, you accidentally switched the original Peugeot key case with another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key when it got wet. The most frequent issues that affect the immobilizer system are due to a low battery in the key, a broken antenna, or electronic failure within the module as well as the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to experiment with something new in the first 2000's. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced a flip-key style instead of the trusted transponder chip, which was enclosed in carbon. The new design had its problems. One of the most severe is the wobble of the key blade. This problem is caused when the key blade, which is essentially the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears out. The silver button inside the lock stops turning the mechanism, and the key will no longer feed into the lock.

Fortunately, this can be easily fix using a new key blade, cut correctly to the correct. It is essential that the blade is copied from your worn out key and not a generic one as the latter does not reflect the true shape of your key, and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith can make a new blade and fix this annoying problem.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the blade of the key is damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' on the key, wears out. This can cause the key to become stuck inside the lock if it isn't removed as quickly as it should be. This then leads to the dreaded "Immobiliser Fault' on your dashboard. There are many fairy-tales about how to fix the issue, but in actual a new blade is required.

This is a relatively cost-effective task that could be accomplished by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They will need to simply cut a new blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207.

The circuit board which generates the signal for the transponder chip begins to show tiny hairline cracks after about five years. These cracks won't affect the chip but they do cause other issues with your Peugeot key.

The flip mechanism that keeps the blade in place isn't very reliable. This is particularly in the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the fact that the key's "flip mechanism" has been upgraded from the earlier model carbon-encased chips. This change has caused four major issues that could hinder your Peugeot key from working.
