Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement

fiat key fob not working Panda key fobs contain an transponder chip that transmits the signal to your vehicle to open the doors or start the engine. However, the key fob may be inoperable due to various reasons.

A dead coin battery is the most common reason for malfunctioning keys. Other reasons include water damage, vehicle the receiver module is defective and signal interference.

Dead Coin Battery

If the battery in your key fob has gone out of service, the first step is to replace it. Use a button cell battery with the same voltage, size and specifications as the old one.

If the key fob was exposed to water (such as saltwater or rain at the beach) it must be cleaned prior to using it again. A paper towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner can do the trick.

If the key fob is not working despite not being exposed to water it could be due a malfunction in the receiver module or in the internal electronic chip. In these cases it is possible that reprogramming the key fob with an OBDII scanner can help.

Water Damage

You might have water damage if your key fob was submerged in a pool, puddle or washing machine. It's generally possible to repair it by taking the batteries off and cleaning the circuit board using ruby alcohol. It is a good idea to allow the fob to dry completely before installing a new battery.

You may have a faulty module when your key fob ceases working after replacing the battery or updating. You can find information on the reprogramming of most remote keys on YouTube, or consult the owner's manual. You could also try resetting the car's onboard computer by using the OBDII scan tool.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob is equipped with a chip which communicates with the vehicle's system. This chip will stop sending and receiving signals to the car if it becomes damaged. Dropping the key fob can cause this, as could exposure to water. If your key fob has stopped working due to exposure to water and you are unable to fix it if clean the chip using electronic cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

If the key fob doesn't respond to cleaning, it is possible that the receiver module has an issue and must be replaced. A defective receiver module could also cause the remote control key to stop functioning. This is usually caused by electromagnetic interference.

A defective electronic chip

The electronic chip in the key fob is an important part of the anti-theft system in your vehicle. It sends out a signal the immobiliser unit inside your car to inform it whether or not the key is legitimate. Your car won't start in the event that the chip is damaged.

A malfunctioning chip could be caused by interference signals from objects or weather conditions that are bad, or transmitters operating on the same frequency near your car. In this scenario you'll need a new key fob.

Contacts with the battery may be damaged.

The battery contacts of the fob's battery can be damaged through heavy use. If they're broken or bent, the fob won't send any signals to the receiver modules inside the car.

Modern fobs are designed with rubber seals to keep out water. A splash of water or light rain is fine However, submerging them in saltwater may harm the chip's electronic components.

The key fob houses chips that communicate with the vehicle's immobilizer system to start it. The system relies on cryptocoding systems in modern vehicles and the older red key system used in older models. If the chip is defective it will have to be replaced.

A faulty 12 Volt battery

A damaged battery can cause the remote to cease to function. If this happens the car's computer will not be able to recognize that the remote is within the vehicle.

Before you replace the battery, you should test it with a an voltmeter for determining its capacity. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. If the reading falls significantly, it's time to replace it.

Place an electrical load for a few moments on the battery to gauge its capacity. This will take off approximately 1 percent of the charge on the surface. Then measure the voltage again. The higher the capacity of the battery, the longer it can maintain its voltage. The ideal is to keep it close to 12 volts during several minutes.

The radio signal is not working properly. Radio Signal

This is the most frequent reason for a key fob to stop sending signals to vehicles. This issue can be resolved by replacing the battery. However, it is crucial to choose a battery that has the same size and voltage as the original.

Fobs can take a lot punishment, and aren't impervious to destruction. Battery contacts and buttons can be damaged through rough handling.

Other transmitters or objects operating on the same frequency may also disrupt a signal. A light control panel in your home, for example can interfere with key fobs that have the same frequency. This could interfere with your car's remote control.

Afflicted OBDII scan tool

There are a number of reasons why a scanner could not function. Certain are more complicated than others.

Professional scan tools let mechanics to observe the car's network and perform various self-tests. These tools can save a lot of time, but they are costly and are out of reach for most DIYers.

If your OBD2 scan tool isn't turning on, test the voltage at terminals 16 (scantool power) and 4 (chassis earth). If these are both present it's likely that a fuse is blowing. This is the main reason for a scan tool to fail. The most straightforward fix is to replace the fuse which has blown.
