Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement

Fiat Panda key fobs contain an transponder chip that transmits an alert to your car to unlock the doors or start the engine. However, the fob could stop working for several reasons.

A dead coin battery is the most frequent reason for a key fob malfunction. Other causes are water damage, a faulty module, and interference signals.

Dead Coin Battery

Replace the battery if the key fob has died. Use a button cell that has the same voltage, size and specifications as the old one.

If the key fob has been exposed to water, for example a splash of rain or salt water at the beach, it's going to need to be cleaned before it is able to be used again. The best solution is to use a paper towel that has been soaked in isopropyl or electronic cleaner.

If the key fob is not working even though it is not exposed to water, it could be due to a malfunction in the receiver module or an internal electronic chip. Reprogramming the keyfob with an OBDII scan can assist in these situations.

Water Damage

If your key fob has gotten submerged in a pool or puddle, or taken a trip through the washing machine, you could be suffering some water damage. It's usually possible to fix it by removing the batteries and cleaning the circuit board with ruby alcohol. It's a good idea let the fob dry completely before putting in a new battery.

If your key fob isn't working even after replacing the battery and reprogramming it, you may have a malfunctioning receiver module. You can find reprogramming instructions for the majority of vehicles' remote key fobs on YouTube or in the owner's manual. You can also reset the computer of your car using the OBDII scanner tool.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob contains an electronic chip that communicates with the car's system. This chip will stop sending and receiving signals to the car if it becomes damaged. Dropping the key fob could cause this, as could exposure to water. If your key fob isn't working due to water exposure or water exposure, you might be able fix the issue if you clean the chip using electronic cleaner or isopropyl ethanol.





If the key fob still does not respond after cleaning it you can be sure that the module is faulty and needs to be replaced. A malfunctioning receiver module could also cause the remote control key to not function. This is usually caused by electromagnetic interference.

Faulty Electronic Chip

The electronic chip inside your key fob plays an important role in the anti-theft security system of your car. It sends out a signal the immobiliser unit in your vehicle to tell it whether or not the key is legitimate. If the chip is damaged or broken, the car will not start.

A malfunctioning chip could be caused by interference signals from objects, bad weather conditions or transmitters on the same frequency near your car. In this situation, you will need an entirely new key fob.

Contacts of the battery may be damaged.

The battery contacts on the key fob are delicate and could be damaged when used for long periods of time. If they're bent or broken the fob won't send any signals to the receiver modules in the car.

Modern fobs come with rubber seals that keep out water. Submerging fiat punto replacement key in water even if it's only an occasional drizzle or splash can harm the chip's electronic circuit.

The key fob comes with an embedded chip that communicates to the immobilizer system of the vehicle to start it. This system makes use of cryptocoding systems in the latest vehicles as well as the traditional red key system used in older ones. This chip needs to be replaced if defective.

Problems with 12 Volt Batteries

A malfunctioning battery could cause the key fob to cease working. The car's computer will not recognize the remote if this happens.

Before you replace the battery, test it by using a an voltmeter for determining its capacity. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. If the reading drops significantly then it's time to replace the battery.

Place an electrical load for a short time on the battery to gauge its capacity. This will take off approximately 1% of the charge on the surface. Then, you can measure the voltage once more. The longer the battery can hold its voltage more effectively, the greater its capacity. The ideal scenario is to keep it close to 12 volts for several minutes.

Problems with Radio Signal

This is the main cause of a key fob that ceases to send signals to the car. The battery could be replaced to fix this problem. It is crucial to purchase an identical battery voltage and dimensions as the original.

Fobs take a lot of abuse, but they're also not impervious to destruction. The battery contacts and buttons are delicate, so they can get bent or damaged from rough use.

A signal may also be affected by other objects or transmitters who use the same frequency. A light-control panel in your home, for example, may interfere with key fobs using the same frequency. This could interfere with the remote control of your car.

Afflicted OBDII Scan Tool

There are a number of reasons why a scan tool might not work. Some are more complex than others.

Professional scan tools allow mechanics to monitor the car's network and perform a variety of self-tests. These can be real time savers, however they are also extremely expensive, and beyond the reach of most DIYers.

If your OBD2 scan tool fails to turn on, test the voltage at terminals 16 (scantool power) and 4 (chassis earth). If all is fine there is a chance that a fuse has been blown. This is among the most frequent causes of failures in the scan tool. The simple fix is usually to replace the fuse that has been blown.
