Citroen Dispatching Remote Key Replacement
In the years prior to 1997 Citroen automobiles used keys that did not have transponders (chip). Keys of this type can be programmed on-site with no need for specialist equipment.
If your key fob isn't working it could be due to many different reasons, such as worn buttons, faulty battery contacts, water damage or receiver module problems.
Diagnostics of a fault
Fault diagnosis is the process of identifying the root cause of issues, to the point where corrective measures can be taken. This is often referred to by the term fault isolation and is a crucial component of automated systems for operations management. It involves three steps including detection, localization and estimation.
Common methods for fault detection use simulation to determine the possible responses a test could have when there are various faults, and then store these expected results in databases. Then, when an experiment is conducted and the results are compared with the expected results. If the actual results are the same as the expected results, then the fault is discovered. The method of identifying faults is typically iterative and is described as a diagnostic tree.

As time passes the clips will get weaker and looser. Replace the old battery by the new one that is the same voltage, size and specification. Also, ensure that the metal retaining clip is correctly fitted since improperly replacing the battery of a button cell could damage the electronic chip inside.
