Diagnostics of a fault

Fault diagnosis is the process that identifies the root cause of a problem, ensuring that the corrective measures can be taken. This is often referred to by the term fault isolation and is an essential component of the automation systems for operations management. It consists of three steps including detection, localization and estimation.

Simulation is a common method for fault diagnosis. It lets you test the possible response to tests when there is a presence of various faults. The results are stored in a database. Then, when a testing experiment is carried out then the actual results are compared to the expected ones. If the actual results are the identical to the expected results, then the fault is discovered. The process of identifying faults usually iterative, and can be described as a diagnostic tree.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is the most common reason for a faulty key fob that doesn't lock or unlock. Metal clips secure the button cell battery in the key fob. They can break loose and weaken over time. Replace the old battery by a new one that is identical in size, voltage and specification. Make sure the metal retainer clip has been properly installed. A button cell battery installed incorrectly can damage the electronic chip.

Key fob not working properly

There are several things that could go wrong with your Citroen dispatch remote key. The most common cause is the battery being dead, but it could also be a damaged or defective transmitter. There may be loose parts rattling around inside of the fob and the LED lights may not be functioning. In such cases it is necessary to contact an auto locksmith to resolve the issue.

A remote car key (also called a smart key) incorporates a transponder device in the head of the key to communicate with the car's immobiliser system and allow it to start when you insert the key into the ignition. These are very popular with customers because of their convenience and dependability. The keys can be dropped, squeezed or thrown away, unlike the flip-keys of the past that are no longer used.

It is important to keep in mind that if your key does not start your car the issue is likely to be the immobiliser in the car and not the actual key. If replacing the key isn't enough it must be reset by an auto locksmith using the correct equipment. This will require a new transponder chip be programmed into the key, so that it can work with the car and is able to unlock and open it from a distance, without having to physically reach the lock on the door.

Faulty Receiver Module

The remote keyless system receiver module allows key fobs to communicate with your vehicle. If none of the key fobs are working and you've checked the battery for the life of the battery and reprogrammed it, the possibility is that the receiver module has developed a fault.

It may have stopped transmitting radio frequency signals or it may be faulty due to age. Whatever the reason, this is a common problem and will generally need to be replaced by a licensed auto locksmith.
