Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement Fiat Panda key fobs contain transponder chips that send a signal to your car to open the doors or start the engine. However, the fob could be inoperable due to various reasons. A dead coin battery is the most common reason for a key fob malfunction. Other causes are water damage, a faulty receiver module, and signal interference. Dead Coin Battery If your key fob battery has failed, the initial thing to do is replace it. Use a button cell battery that has the same voltage, size, and specifications as the previous one. If the key fob has been exposed to water, such as a splash of rain or salt water on the beach, it will need to be cleaned before it can be used again. A paper towel that has been soaked in isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner can help. If the key fob hasn't been exposed to water but remains inoperable it could be an issue with the receiver module or an internal electronic chip. Reprogramming the keyfob using an OBDII scan may assist in these situations. Water Damage You might have water damage to your key fob if it was submerged in a pool, puddle or washing machine. It's generally possible to get it working by removing the batteries and cleaning the circuit board using rubbing alcohol. It's a good idea allow the fob to dry completely before putting in a brand new battery. If your key fob isn't working even after replacing the battery and reconfiguring it, you may have a problem with the receiver module. You can find reprogramming procedures for all vehicles' remote key fobs on YouTube or in the owner's manual. You can also reset your computer of your vehicle using the OBDII scanner tool. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob contains the chip that communicates with the car's system. If the chip is damaged, it will no longer transmit and receive signals to the vehicle. This can be caused by dropping the key fob or by exposure to water. If the key fob stopped working after water exposure it could be possible to repair the issue by cleaning or cleaning the chip using isopropyl alcohol, or electronic cleaner. If the key fob continues to not respond after cleaning it, there is a good chance that the module is defective and needs to be replaced. A faulty receiver can also cause the key to cease to function. This is usually caused by electromagnetic interference. A malfunctioning electronic chip The electronic chip in your key fob plays an important function in the anti-theft security system of your vehicle. It transmits a message the immobiliser in your car that tells it if the key is valid. The car will not start if the chip is damaged. A damaged chip could be caused by interference from other objects, bad weather or transmitters close to your vehicle. In this case, a new fob will be required. Contacts for the battery that are defective The battery contacts of the fob's key can be damaged by heavy usage. If they're broken or bent, the fob will not be able to send any signals to the receiver modules inside the car. Modern fobs are designed with rubber seals in order to keep out water. In the event of submerging them in water, even if it's only an occasional drizzle or splash could damage the chip's electronic components. The key fob houses the chip that connects to the vehicle's immobilizer system in order to begin it. The system relies on cryptocoding systems in newer vehicles or the red key system for older ones. If the chip is defective, it will need to be replaced. fiat 500x key can cause the remote to stop working. The car's computer won't recognize the remote if this occurs. Before you replace the battery, test it by using a a voltmeter to determine its capacity. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. If the reading decreases significantly it is time to replace the battery. To test a battery's capacity test the battery's capacity by placing an electrical load on it for a couple of minutes. This will take away approximately 1% of the charge on the surface. Then take another measurement of the voltage. The greater the battery's capacity, the longer it can keep its voltage. The ideal is to keep it close to 12 volts for several minutes. Radio Signal Faulty Radio Signal This is the most common reason for a keyfob that stops sending signals to the car. The battery could be replaced to fix this issue. However, it is important to select a replacement battery that is the same voltage and size as the original one. Fobs take a lot of abuse, and they aren't indestructible. The battery buttons and contacts are delicate and are susceptible to being bent or damaged by excessive use. A signal may also be affected by other transmitters or objects which use the same frequency. For instance, a light control panel near your home may send interference over the same frequency that key fobs utilize. This could interfere with the remote control of your car. Faulty OBDII scan tool There are a number of reasons why a scan tool may not work. Some are more complicated than others. Professional scan tools enable mechanics to look over the car's networks and perform a variety of self-tests. They can be huge time savers but they can also be very expensive, out of the reach of most DIYers. If your OBD2 scan tool doesn't turn on, check voltage at terminals 16 (scantool power) and 4 (chassis earth). If both are in good condition it's likely that a fuse has been blown. This is one of the most common causes of scan tool failure. It is typically easy to fix the issue by replacing the blown fuse.
