Car immobiliser problems MEGATHREAD


Recommended Posts

I was under the impression that if it was your immobiliser that was duff you wouldnt even be able to turn the engine over.

Have you tried bump starting it?

 

Depends how it's wired I suppose!

 

If I'm not mistaken, some immobiliser systems have a thing whereby if you press and hold one or both of the buttons for something like 10 seconds or so, it resets itself. It's worth a try at least.

You'll need to recode your keys to the car. I can't remember off the top of my head how you do it but its in the manual.

 

Quick Google brings up the answer:

 

http://www.programyourkeys.com/Peugeot_306_Key_Remote_Control_Plip_Reprogramming_Instructions.html

 

Notes:

 

The Peugeot 306 had three phases:

 

1993 - Phase 1 - Identifiable by louvred front grille. Remote type is Infra red with an LED on the fob. Immobilser is via keypad inside vehicle (unless most basic model).

 

1997 (late) - Phase 2 - Identifiable by one piece grill and lower bumpers now body coloured. The remote type is infra red with an LED on the fob. The remote, although similar in operation to the phase 1, now contains a transponder chip for the immobiliser. The casing of the remote fob is also slightly thicker than the phase 1.

 

1999 - Phase 3 - Identifiable by completely colour coded bumpers. The remote type is now Radio Frequency (RF). There is no LED on the remote fob.

306 PLIP PROGRAMMING (For Infra Red Model Only*)

 

This procedure will work with any 306 Infra Red fob, either originally supplied with vehicle, new or secondhand from another 306.

 

1. Turn the Ignition switch to the accessory position using the key without the remote plip attached.

 

2. Hold the Plip key close to the central locking receiver mounted in the roof console.

 

3. Press the large plip button and then the small plip button on the remote.

 

4. Repeat for second Plip key if required.

 

5. Turn the ignition OFF.

 

6. After 5 seconds the Plip should now operate.

 

 

 

306 PLIP RE-SYNCHING (For RF models only)

 

For late RF model keys if your remote should stop working (due to changing the battery or pressing the remote too many times out of range) you can try re-synchronising it by doing the following (note - must be original fob supplied with vehicle):

 

1.Switch off the ignition

 

2. Switch on the ignition

 

3. Immediately after switching on the ignition, press the large remote button

 

4. The remote should now be working again.

 

* Peugeot used the Infra Red (IR) Key system on the 306 between 1993 and 1999 (Phase 1 & 2). On the IR system you can reprogram your existing key or a new or secondhand key from another 306 model with the above instructions. On the phase 3 model of the Peugeot 306 (1999/2000), a wireless RF system was introduced where the key does not need to be pointed at the receiver in the car. These later wireless remotes can be re-synchronised if they are the original remote supplied with the vehicle but new remotes or ones from other cars must be reprogrammed by a specialist.

 

The Infra Red remote is easily recognisable by the clear bulb near the key blade. There are two types of casing one slightly thicker (phase 2) than the other. The thicker phase 2 key remote houses a transponder chip as well.

 

** Note that the above procedure only programs/reprograms the remote part of the key, it will not reprogram the transponder in the key to disable the immobiliser. Phase 2 Peugeot 306s onwards a transponder system was introduced into the key.

its w reg 2000 so it is RF, the crap you put up just resync the remote with car so it will open/close doors.

The remote is working fine and the starter motor is turning meaning you are talking out of the wrong hole

No need to be offensive. The starter motor will still turn but will not fire if the key isn't synched.

 

I've owned several Peugeot 306s over many years, and its a common problem if the battery is taken off and not connected back properly (see below), or the key batteries go flat are aren't changed within 15 minutes.

 

I'd also suggest doing a BSI reset - if the battery has been off and not been re-connected properly then the key features of the BSI - which include pairing and the immobiliser - could be the problem.

Try these first as they're quick and free to do yourself.

 

Rickleesh - I'll PM you the number of someone I personally trust. Or you can go with Danny128, but before you do have a look at his recent posts and see if that's the kind of person you trust with your car!
