Hi Guys,

I CREATED THIS THREAD TO EDUCATE USERS OF PEUGEOT 307, 206, 406, 407, 607 etc on how to go about the issue of Anti Theft Warning
On the dash board.

ANTI HEFT WARNING ON PEUGEOT CARS!

Am a lover of Peugeot cars...I drive a 307 AND 406 and with a experience I have to share some solutions that will save you pain and money.

I must warn you that 307 is a sensitive car with lots of complicated tech that shouldn't mess with otherwise you are in soup. Whenever my car misbehaves- I leave it and sleep over it and find solution.

It happened that my car key got issues...on friday last week, I drove and parked the car somewhere- The, about to go and the key suddenly can't open the door- On forced trial- The flashy lights came up intermediately and flashed for some 4secs. I can't trying and forcing the key because it was hard to turn- I managed to open the door without knowing that the sensor on the key has been damaged. Mind you Peugeot has a security chip embedded on the keys which makes it impossible for
a thief to steal your car without molded key-

I TRIED CRANKING THE CAR SEVERALLY BUT IT WON'T START.

The warning on the dash board was Anti Theft Faulty! With a Triangle warning.

When you seen that it means that the system on your car can't recognise the key you are using.

However of I went it search of a true solution- After a scan- nothing was seen. An expert at Ladipo suggested that the battery remote was dead because he can't see any code on the key was inserted in to the Key reader.

Without much hesitation; a mechanic introduced me to an experienced electrian - He quickly checked and told me that the key is dead. To Start the car you need to turn on the engine and lock the door then wait for 20seconnds before cranking the engine..maybe 20 times.

I told him I need solution!

The guy charged N15,000 - He bought another micro chip as the old one on the key is dead. He got the access code number with his Planet 2000 scanner and then reconfigured the new chip- Then place it inside the old casing. SEALED EVERY THING UP.

Immediately- the electrician cranked the engine. The Lion(Peugeot) Answered without any hesitation and guess what? The Warning fault disappeared.

We scanned the vehicle with Planet2000 scanner to check for errors and saw none. Everything was cleared and a few more trials shows the car
was 100% ok.

Be careful with your keys and don't allow amateur mechanics to work on your car.

PEUGEOT LIVES!

Hope this educates anyone who needs help

Hello OP,

Thank u for this info, i am currently having this ANTI THEFT ISSUE on my LION. #307FAM
Trying to try all i could do before going for another key and program....
I dont have d code too, and key tech guys are telling me 20K to fix here in Abuja, it started on Monday.. But my difference is, if i held d remote control engine together with the key with bare hand, the Lion answeered, sometimes.... I've tried explaining to them that it may be partial contact but those guys are just adamant.
Any assistance from your side bro?

Hi Ruby360,
Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate.
Mehnnn... it's all getting crazier. I have decided to make another key and do away with d former. Just as u explained, I expected them to get another chip, program and fix. But he's saying it cost 35K for a new key, completely new key with remote like d bad one, this will render my former key completely useless (NB: He duplicated d key for me last February with new casing).

Then 18k for a new normal key without remote opening n closing buttons.

And he may as well put another sensor in d spoilt chip for 15k Wch I don't think it's preferable as that chip should b weak by now.

Sorry bro, Pls my question is, the one u fixed and advice to be around 15-20K, is it d complete key with remote or d normal smaller one without remote so I can know how to bargain with this guys.

I was at Peugeot office today as well, but they're like I should forward d chassis number before dey bill me, thatll b tomorrow.

I just wanna get d best + affordable bargain.

Thank man, wa last!
#BlessUp!

IF YOU HAVE THE CODE- THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR 25K HERE IN LAGOS.
TRY TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE MAN WELL

Harzan:


Thank U plenty brother.
Got it fixed for around 20k... The one without remote. It suppose to be 10k but unplanned issues inflated the expenses.
U are really helpful, God bless U real good bro.
Cheers,
