Keyfob

[daria1967]

hello fellow c4 drivers ! ,

 

Can anyone "please" help with this matter ? . Two weeks ago A A , fitted new battery to my car , since the new battery i have nothing but trouble with key fob ie , car locking by itself , starts then  wont start , ect . AA are refusing to admit responsibility as they said when their mechanic left me car was going ,i`am beyond  all hope on that matter , is it true that the mechanic has "spiked" my key code , inturn  all information to keyfob circuit boared is not recognising information and that the only way to solve this will be to get to a citroen dealer and get keys "re-mapped"  ? . I`am losing the will to live with this now !! :). 

 

cheers paul.

Unless the BSI is allowed to close down correctly before changing the batteries, many Citroen cars will display all manner of electrical faults.   The correct procedure for disconnecting a battery is as follows:-

Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.
Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery.

Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).
Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
Remove key open & close door test central locking system.
Start the engine and complete the system's check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items.
