Peugeot 206 Key Replacement

Peugeot keyfobs in the 206 series can have a button-cell battery that fails. This video shows how to replace the battery.

The Immobilizer System

When you turn and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits an electronic code to the engine control system. If the code doesn't match, the engine will not start. This helps prevent theft of cars that are not authorized. If you're having issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a professional locksmith for automotive can assist. They can use tools from dealers to program a new key, or replace your old one. This will save you time and money. They'll also come to your location so that you don't have to spend a lot of time at the dealership.

However, not all antitheft systems are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they meet high safety standards. They can test the system's performance by analyzing the messages transmitted between the immobilizer's components and the CAN bus traffic.

Even the best systems can be vulnerable if targeted appropriately. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in Hitag2 to hack three cars, all older models. It took just 10 seconds to get the vehicle security code from one of the three. This information is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually, they were.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits an encrypted passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code on the chip is identical to that on the car's system the car will start.

This is an essential security measure to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use rolling or changing security codes. The intelligent system can change the second code each time the key is used, and then insert it into the key's chip. The first code remains in place and every time the key is turned in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if they match.

This is a highly advanced technology that is extremely difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars can't be started. It's also why the moment your Peugeot starts to run but then shuts down, it's likely not the immobilizer. Instead, it could be one of many electrical issues causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths are able to help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart peugeot 406 key fob Key to work again.

The Battery

When the 206 was first introduced in 1999, Peugeot was facing stiff competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were developed to draw sales from the higher-end 205s.

The 206 line includes an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, and station wagons known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had the top speed of 210 km/h.
