Troubleshooting
Fault diagnosis is the process of identifying one or more root causes of problems to the point where corrective action can be taken. It is usually referred to by the term fault isolation and is a critical component of automated systems for operations management. It involves three steps including detection, localization and estimation.
Typical methods for fault diagnosis utilize simulation to find the possible responses to a test in the presence of various faults, and then record these expected results in a database. After the test is conducted, the actual results of the test are compared to the expected ones. If the actual results are in line with one of the expected results, the fault is identified. The process of identifying mistakes is usually iterative, and described as a diagnosis tree.

Dead Coin Battery
A dead coin battery is the most frequent cause of a Jumpy key fob which won't lock or unlock. Metal clips are what hold the button cell battery within the key fob. As time passes these clips may become weaker and looser. Replace the old battery by one of a new model that has the same voltage, size, and specification. Also ensure that the retaining clip is correctly fitted since improperly replacing the battery of a button cell could damage the internal electronic chip.
Key fob is not working correctly
There are a variety of things that could go wrong with your Citroen remote key. The most frequent is an empty battery, but it could also be a damaged or defective transmitter. You might hear loose parts rattling around inside the fob, and the LED lights may not be functioning.

A remote car key (also known as a smart key) incorporates a transponder device inside the head of the key that communicates with the car's immobiliser system and allow it to start when you insert the key into the ignition. Customers love these keys because they are easy to use and reliable. The keys are also very robust and can be dropped, squeezed or toss around, unlike the old flip keys that are now obsolete.
It is crucial to remember that if your key will not start your vehicle it is probably the immobiliser that is in the car, not the key. The replacement of the key won't be enough and it has to be reset by an auto locksmith using the correct equipment. This requires that a new transponder is programmed into the keys, so they are able to work with the vehicle. They are also able to open and lock the doors from a distance without having to touch the lock.
Faulty Receiver Module
The remote keyless system receiver module allows the key fobs communicate with your vehicle. If none of the key fobs are working and you have examined the battery of the coin for the life of the battery and reprogrammed it, the possibility is that the receiver module has developed a fault.
It may have stopped sending radio frequency signals or it may be malfunctioning due to age. This is a common problem and an auto locksmith will need to replace it.
