Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement

fiat key fob not working Panda key fobs contain a transponder chip that sends an alert to your car to unlock the doors or start the engine. The fob may stop working due to a variety of reasons.

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

Dead Coin Battery

If your key fob battery has died, the first thing to do is replace it. Use a brand new button battery that has exactly the same size, voltage and specification as the previous one.

If the key fob was exposed to water (such as rain or saltwater at the beach) It must be cleaned before using again. The trick is to use a paper towel soaked with isopropyl, or electronic cleaner.

If the fiat key fob has not been exposed to water, but isn't working, there may be an issue with the receiver module or an internal electronic chip. In these situations, reprogramming the key fob with an OBDII scanner might aid.

Water Damage

If your key fob has gotten immersed in a puddle or pool or gone through the washing machine, you may have some water damage. It's possible to get it working by getting rid of the batteries and cleaning the circuit board with rubbing alcohol. It's best to allow the fob to dry completely before putting in a brand new battery.

If your key fob has stopped working, even after replacing the battery and programming it again, you might have a problem with the receiver module. You can find reprogramming procedures for most remote key fobs on YouTube or in the owner's guide. You could also try resetting the car's onboard computer by using the OBDII scan tool.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob's chip is a chip that connects to the vehicle's system. This chip will stop sending and receiving signals to the car if damaged. Dropping the key fob could cause this, as well as exposure to water. If the key fob is not working after water exposure it could be possible to fix the issue by cleaning the chip with isopropyl ethanol or electronic cleaner.

If the key fob won't respond to cleaning, it is possible that the component has an issue and must be replaced. A damaged receiver can cause the key to not work. This is typically caused by electromagnetic interference.

A malfunctioning electronic chip

The chip that is embedded in your key fob is a vital component of the anti-theft systems in your fiat car key. It transmits a message the immobiliser in your car to tell it that the key is valid. If the chip is damaged or broken, your car won't start.

A malfunctioning chip could be caused by interference signals from objects, bad weather conditions or transmitters on the same frequency near your vehicle. In this case an upgrade to the fob will be needed.

Faulty Battery Contacts

The battery contacts on the fob's key can be damaged through heavy use. If they are bent or broken the fob will not transmit any signals to the receiver modules in the car.

Modern fobs feature rubber seals that keep out water. In the event of submerging them in water, even if it's only the slightest splash or drizzle can harm the electronic chip.

The key fob contains an electronic chip that communicates with the vehicle's immobilizer in order to begin it. The system relies on cryptocoding systems in newer vehicles as well as the traditional red key system in older ones. If the chip is not working properly it will have to be replaced.

Problems with 12 Volt Batteries

A malfunctioning battery could cause the key fob not to work. The car's computer may not recognize the remote if this occurs.

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, it is time to replace the battery.

To determine the capacity of a battery to determine its capacity, put an electric load on it for a few minutes. This will remove about 1 percent of the surface charge. Then, measure the voltage again. The longer the battery can keep its voltage steady 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 most common reason for the key fob to stop sending signals to the car. The issue can be fixed by replacing the battery. But, it is essential to choose a battery with the same voltage and size as the original one.

Fobs are not indestructible and can take a lot. The battery buttons and the contacts are fragile which means they could be bent or damaged by excessive use.

A signal can also be disrupted by other transmitters or objects which use the same frequency. A light control panel in your home, for instance could interfere with key fobs using the same bandwidth. This could affect your car's remote control.

Problems with OBDII Scan Tool

There are many reasons scanner tools may not function. Some are more complex than others.

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

If your OBD2 scan tool fails to turn on, check the voltage at terminals 16 (scantool power) and 4 (chassis earth). If all is fine there is a chance that a fuse has failed. This is the most common reason for failures of the scanner. The most straightforward fix is to replace the fuse that has been blown.
