Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement

fiat 500 replacement key Panda key fobs contain a transponder chip which sends signals to your car to open the doors or start the engine. The fob can stop functioning due to a variety of reasons.

The most common reason for key fob failure is a dead coin battery. Other reasons include water damage, an inoperative receiver module and signal interference.

Dead Coin Battery

Replace the battery if the key fob has died. Choose a new button battery that has exactly the same size, voltage and specification as the old one.

If the key fob was exposed to water (such as rain or saltwater at the beach) it must be cleaned before being used again. The best way to do this is using an old towel soaked in isopropyl, or Fiat Panda Key electronic cleaner.

If the key fob hasn't been exposed to water, but remains inoperable, there may be an issue with the receiver module or an internal electronic chip. Reprogramming the keyfob by using an OBDII scan can assist in these situations.

Water Damage

There could be water damage if your key fob was submerged in a puddle, pool or washing machine. It's usually possible to restore it's functionality by removing the battery and scrubbing the circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. It is best to let the fob completely dry before installing the battery.

If your key fob has stopped working, even after replacing the battery and reconfiguring it, you may have a faulty receiver module. There are reprogramming guidelines for most remote key fobs on YouTube or in the owner's manual. You can also try resetting the car's onboard computer by using the OBDII scan tool.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob has a chip that connects to the vehicle's system. If the chip is damaged, it will no longer transmit or receive signals to the vehicle. This can be caused by dropping the key fob or through exposure to water. If your key fob isn't functioning due to water exposure, you may be able to fix it by attempting to clean the chip with electronic cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

If the key fob does not respond to cleaning, it's possible that the component has an issue and should be replaced. A damaged receiver can cause the key to cease to function. This is typically caused by electromagnetic interference.

Faulty Electronic Chip

The chip that is embedded in your key fob is an important element of the anti-theft device in your vehicle. It sends a signal to the immobiliser inside your car to determine that the key is valid. Your car won't start when the chip is damaged.

A faulty chip can also be caused by interference signals from objects, bad weather conditions or transmitters on the same frequency as your vehicle. In this situation you'll require an entirely new key fob.

Contacts for the battery that are defective

The battery contacts of a key fob are very fragile and are susceptible to damage when used for long periods of time. If they are damaged or bent, the key fob will not be able to send any signals to the receiver modules in the car.

Modern fobs come with rubber seals to keep out water. Immersing them in water, even if it's only the slightest splash or drizzle, can damage the electronic chip.

The key fob has an embedded chip that communicates to the immobilizer system of the vehicle, allowing it to start it. This system uses crypto coding systems in newer vehicles as well as the traditional red key system for older models. This chip needs to be replaced if malfunctioning.

A faulty 12 Volt battery

A malfunctioning battery could cause the key fob to function. The car's computer won't recognize the remote when this occurs.

Before replacing the battery, you should test it with a an voltmeter to gauge its capacity. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. If the reading falls dramatically it is time to replace the battery.

To test a battery's capacity to determine its capacity, put an electric load on it for a couple of minutes. This will remove approximately 1 percent of the charge on the surface. Then, measure the voltage once more. The longer the battery can hold its voltage greater is its capacity. Ideal is to hold close to 12 volts over several minutes.

Problems with Radio Signal

This is the most frequent reason for a key fob that ceases to send signals to the car. The battery is able to be replaced to resolve this problem. It is however important to choose a battery that is the same size and voltage as the original one.

Fobs aren't impervious to damage and can be damaged by a lot. Contacts and buttons on batteries can be damaged through rough handling.

A signal can also be affected by other transmitters or Fiat Panda key objects that use the same frequency. For instance, a lighting control panel near your home may transmit interference using the same bandwidth that key fobs utilize. This can interfere with the remote control of your car.

Incorrect OBDII Scan Tool

There are many reasons why scanners don't work. Some are more complicated than others.

Professional scan tools enable a mechanic observe the car's network and perform various self-tests. These tools can save a lot of time, but are expensive and are out of reach for the majority of DIYers.

If your OBD2 scanner isn't turning on examine the voltage at terminal 16 (scan tool power) and terminal 4 (chassis ground). If all is fine it could be that a fuse has ruptured. This is among the most common causes of a scan tool failing. The easiest fix is to replace the fuse which has blown.
