Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement

Fiat Panda keyfobs are equipped with a transponder that transmits an indication from the fob to the car that allows it to unlock doors or turn on the motor. The fob could stop working for a variety.

A dead battery for the coin is the most frequent cause of the malfunction of a key fob. Other reasons include water damage, a faulty receiver module, and signal interference.

Dead Coin Battery

Replace the battery in case your key fob is dead. Use a button cell battery that has the same voltage, size and specifications as the old one.

If the key fob was exposed to water, such as a splash of rain or salt water at the beach, it will have to be cleaned before it can be used again. A paper towel that has been soaked in isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner can help.

If the key fob isn't working despite not being exposed water, it could be due a malfunction in the receiver module, or even in the internal electronic chip. In these cases it is possible that reprogramming the key fob with an OBDII scanner may aid.

Water Damage

If your key fob took a bath in the puddle or pool or gone to the washing machine, you could be suffering some water damage. It's possible to get it working by removing the batteries and cleaning the circuit board with rubbing alcohol. It's best to let the fob dry completely before putting in a new battery.

If your key fob isn't working even after replacing the battery and changing the program, you could have a malfunctioning receiver module. There are instructions for the reprogramming of most remote keys on YouTube or in the owner's manual. You can also reset your car's computer using the OBDII scanner tool.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob's chip is a chip that communicates with the vehicle's system. This chip will stop sending and receiving signals to the car when it is damaged. This could be due to dropping the key fob, or by water exposure. If the key fob stopped working after water exposure it is possible to fix the issue by cleaning the chip using isopropyl alcohol, or electronic cleaner.

If the key fob doesn't respond to cleaning, it's possible that the module has an issue and must be replaced. A damaged receiver module may also cause the remote control key to stop working. This is usually caused by electromagnetic interference.

A malfunctioning electronic chip

The electronic chip in your key fob plays a vital role in the anti-theft system of your car. It transmits a message to the immobiliser in your car that tells it that the key is valid. The car won't start when the chip is damaged.

A faulty chip may also be caused by interference from other objects, weather conditions or transmitters near your vehicle. In this case, you will need a new key fob.





Contacts with the battery may be damaged.

The battery contacts on the fob's key can be damaged by excessive usage. If they're bent, or broken, the fob won't transmit any signals to receiver modules in the vehicle.

Modern fobs are equipped with rubber seals that block out water. A splash of water or light rain is acceptable but submerging them into salt water could damage the electronic chip.

The key fob has a chip which communicates with the immobilizer system of the vehicle, allowing it to start it. The system is based on the old red keys that were used in older vehicles, or the cryptocoding system found in modern vehicles. If the chip is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

A faulty 12 Volt battery

A defective battery can cause the remote to cease working. The car's computer may not recognize the remote when this happens.

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

To determine the capacity of a battery, place an electrical load on it for a couple of minutes. This will eliminate approximately 1% of the charge on the surface. Then, you can measure the voltage once more. The higher the capacity of the battery is, the longer it will keep its voltage. The ideal scenario is to keep it at or near 12 volts for several minutes.

Radio Signal Faulty Radio Signal

This is the most common reason for a keyfob that stops sending signals to the car. This problem can be solved by replacing the battery. But, it is essential to select a replacement battery that has the same size and voltage as the original one.

Fobs take a lot of abuse, and they aren't impervious to destruction. The battery contacts and buttons are delicate, so they can get bent or damaged by the force of.

The signal could also be disrupted by other transmitters or objects which use the same frequency. A light-control panel at your home, for example could interfere with key fobs that use the same bandwidth. This could affect the remote control of your car.

Afflicted OBDII scan tool

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

Professional scan tools allow mechanics to observe the car's networks and run a range of self-tests. These tools can help save time, but are expensive and are out of reach for most DIYers.

If your OBD2 scanner doesn't work Check the voltage on terminal 16 (scan tool power) and terminal 4 (chassis ground). If G28CarKeys are OK it's likely that a fuse has blown. This is the most frequent reason for a scan tool to fail. It is usually simple to fix the issue by replacing the fuse that has blown.
