This is done by sending a signal via an antenna that is connected to the microchip inside your key to the ignition. This is a safety feature that stops your car from being taken away.    The warning light will either flash or glow on the console if the immobilizer receives a different code from the one it is expecting. This means that there is an issue and you might need to take your car to a Peugeot dealer to have it reset and the keys reprogrammed.    If you bring your key to a garage that provides this service, they can read it and tell whether the transponder has a problem.

Instead of the reliable kind of carbon encased transponder chips, they introduced the flip key design. The new design was not without its issues. One of the most significant is the key blade wobble. This happens when the blade of a key wears out, which is the part of the key that is inserted into the lock. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop allowing the mechanism to flip out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock in a proper manner.      It is fixable by re-cutting the blade according to. It is important that the blade is copied from your previous key, and not a generic replacement since this will not give you a true shape and will continue to wear in exactly the same manner as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith can make a new blade and resolve this issue.    Key Blade Damage    The blade of the key or to be more precise, the'mouth' of the lock key can wear out. If the key is not removed swiftly, it may become stuck in the lock. G28 can lead to the dreaded "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are numerous fairy tales about how to fix this problem, but in reality it is a need for a new blade.    This is a relatively affordable task that can be performed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll have to cut a new key blade and then attach it to your Peugeot 207.    A high-quality Peugeot flip key will last for about five years before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board that creates the transponder chip signal. These cracks do not affect the chip, but they can cause other problems with your Peugeot key.    The flip mechanism that keeps the blade in place, is not very reliable. This is especially true on the Peugeot Partner, 407 and 107 ranges. This is because the key's 'flip mechanism' has changed from the earlier model carbon-encased chips. This has led to four major issues, all of which could stop your Peugeot key from starting your car.
