Citreon Xsara Picasso 2.0 Lx Hdi 2002 Model. (Help Please)

[poolielad]

Just bought one of these, need help with a couple of things please!

 

Can someone please give me a link to download the hand book for this model?

 

And I have a problem with central locking/immobiliser keyfob, basically it dosent work... i have to manually put key in lock to activate central locking, I have changed the battery, tried resetting it by turning ignition on and pressing it, no joy...the key itself as a slight break in it, but it opens door and starts car, so i dont think that is affecting the fob...As anyone got any idea how to sort this?

 

Thanks in advance...

You get read and print the handbook from the service.citroen website, documentation de bord, select language, then choose your car. The one shown is for the 2005 to 2009 model but probably most of it will still apply. http://service.citroen.com/ddb/ using the mouse right button I have found is an easy way to print.

 

Does the central locking work using the dash button to help eliminate possible causes such as a blown fuse ? If it is the key fob at fault then a dealer will supply a new one. I guess you only have 1 since I think when new, the car only came with one fob and one separate key without the fob.

Hi, thanks for the reply....the central locking works from inside and also works of fob key and spare non fob key, both keys lock all doors from drivers side...any idea how much I would pay for a new fob key, or would mine be fixable??/9

Have a look on ebay.   There are loads of handbook packs for the Picasso - eg:-

Quite a few years ago I inquired at a Citroen dealer about a replacement fob but lost interest when he quoted £100 or thereabouts.

From cars with RPO no. 9492, the control block under the steering wheel with the wiper and indicator stalks (comms 2000 unit) contains the receiver for the key fob remote. Cars before that RPO no. I do not know what is installed. If the key fob is not at fault, then it could be a problem with the comms unit but to check this would need a dealer diagnostic check. A new fob on our Picasso in 2005 was about £60, so 8 years later £100 may be about right and it would need to be initialised to the car using a dealer Lexia. The car RPO no. can be found in the car handbook/service book and on the car tyre pressure sticker on one of the front door pillars.

 

There are 2 key fob synchronisation methods, depending on the car age.

 

4. Synchronisation of HF PLIP remote controls - early cars

Perform the following operations :

• Put the HF key to be synchronised in position "ignition +"
• Press on the locking button (big button) on the HF key
• Wait between 5 and 10 seconds
• Release the locking button on the HF key
• Switch off the ignition with the HF key
• Wait 3 seconds

The ignition key HF PLIP is synchronised.

 

4. Synchronisation of HF PLIP remote controls - later cars (multiplexing assembly CAN VAN).

N.B. : When replacing the batteries of an HF PLIP remote control, it is necessary to resynchronise the remote control.

Perform the following operations :

• Put the HF key to be synchronised in position "ignition +"
• Within the next 10 seconds, press one of the HF key buttons
• Release the HF key button

The ignition key HF PLIP is synchronised.
