relevant webpage of the Citroen C3 can cease to function due to many reasons. There are a variety of reasons, including worn buttons or poor contact with the battery, water damage and receiver module issues. Check the 12 volt battery. If the key fob will not unlock your car, you may be experiencing deprogramming. This happens when certain key sequences send a signal to the computer onboard to remove the key from its list of access. Dead coin battery If the fob that you use to open the door on your Citroen C3 is no longer working, first determine if the battery is dead. Fobs have small coin-shaped batteries which can be replaced in just a few minutes. They can be found in general stores, home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Be sure to purchase the correct model, however. Fobs usually require CR2025 or CR2032 However, you should consult your owner's manual to determine the type of battery your vehicle requires. Remove the button pad and then use cotton swabs or alcohol to clean it. They will remove the corrosion and clean the contacts which are typically colored gold. After cleaning the contacts and sanitized, you can then insert the new battery. Be cautious not to mix the two batteries as they have different voltages, sizes and diameters. The next step is to test the voltage of the battery. You can obtain a precise reading using a multimeter which is set to the battery's voltage range. If the battery's value is above or below threshold, it needs to be replaced. You can also start your car with a spare keys. However, this might not always work. If the problem persists, visit a CITROEN dealer with your V5 registration documents and personal identification documents. A CITROEN Dealer can locate the code for your vehicle's immobiliser, and then order new batteries. Water damage When the key fob goes under water, it could lose its signal to the car. If this occurs, it's a good idea to pull it out from the pool, puddle, or washing machine as quickly as possible. Once you've done that make use of the cotton swab along with isopropyl or electronic cleaner to dry the circuit board. If it's still not working, it may be the time to replace your key fob. Another reason that is commonly cited one of the main reasons for Citroen c3 remote control not working is signal interference. This can occur when there is an electrical field close to the car or other transmitters using the same frequency. The key fob should start working once you are out of the zone of interference. The Citroen C3 key fob might cease to function due to worn buttons signals, signal interference issues receiver module issues, a dead 12-volt battery or a malfunctioning chip. If this happens, you'll require it to be reset by a professional. This can be done by a skilled mechanic or at an Citroen dealership. If the issue is significant, you may need to replace the device. This is a relatively simple and inexpensive fix, but it's important to act quickly. If you put off fixing the issue, the more difficult it becomes. It could pose a risk to passengers and you if the problem is not resolved. Receiver Module Issue If your key fob ceases working, it might be due to the receiver module having developed a fault. Water damage is one of the many causes. It can happen when you accidentally drop your keys or wash them. You can fix it by removing the chip and cleaning it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. This will stop the chip from corrosion. You can also reset the receiver module if you disconnect it from the battery and wait 10 seconds. Then reconnect the battery to the car and repeat the procedure. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can go to a dealer to have it replaced. Another reason why your key might stop working is due interference. It could be caused by other transmitters operating on the same frequency or by objects inside your vehicle. If you're unable to fix the problem, you can go to a dealership to have your key fob reprogrammed. The key fob contains a short-range radio transmitter/radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip and antenna, which sends a distinct coded signal to the receiver module in your car. If the signal is not right the receiver will not recognize the car key and display a message telling you "key not recognized". This can be a frustrating issue, particularly when trying to start your vehicle. Dead 12 volt battery It is possible that the key fob you have purchased has been damaged if it stops working after a change of batteries. This is especially true if the key fob was dropped or stepped on. However, it can also happen after maintenance on your vehicle that requires the removal and reinstallation of the panels. When the panels are removed, wires are exposed. If your fob is damaged, you might require a complete replacement. Another possibility is that the fob is receiving interference from other devices or places. This could cause RF signals to weaken, preventing the car from recognizing the remote. It is possible to reset the onboard computer if this is the situation, by disconnecting the 12-volt battery for 15 minutes. This will erase any remaining power, allowing the system to restart. It is essential to confirm the size and type of the battery before replacing it. If the battery you replace is too small or has an incompatible voltage, it could damage the circuit board in the key fob. You should also clean any corrosive materials off the chip in the fob before installing the new battery. The correct battery type will ensure that the key fob is sealed and shielded from moisture. Once the key fob's been installed, it should work normally. You should be able to use the second key even the car displays a message stating "key is not recognized." It may be necessary to press the button several times before it responds.
