Picasso central locking

Post by citronut »

a freind of mine has a MK1 Picasso,

he has not used the plip for quite some time now,

i bought him a pair of replacement rubber buttons as he had the opennings taped up,

whilst i had the car in for MOT work i thought i'd fit the new rubbers and get the plip working,

firstly the battery was flat, and after fitting a good one the plip/central locking still does nout,

i have tried re/initialiseing it as the owners manual sudgests,

i have also checked the fuse,

i could not see were/how i could sort it with my DIS LEXIA,


any ideas welcome i spoz appart from scrapping it :lol:

With the Xantia, the keys and remote recoding section is under security systems which is accessed via diagnostics menu. You need the keycode and all keys,

Have you checked with a plip signal tester to see if there is any output from the plip ?

i did check with a plip tester this afternoon and there is a signal transmitting,


i have also spoken to my local pug parts manager only realy because he give's info out easyer than the local citro dealers,


he firstly said i need the plip code to enter into my DIS LEXIA,


so i spoke to the citro dealers parts man who got me the security card code,

which is a 4 digit code, my DIS LEXIA is asking for a 5 digit code when in the plip programming learning/section,

but in the inmobaliser learning are it does only ask for the 4 digit code that i have,


so i called the pug dealers again just to confirm if it were the right code citroen was giveing me, and he says even they cant get the 5 digit code,


so how are you ment to restore a plip code without buying a brand new plip,


i have in the past programed the imobaliser chip in a new plain key with no plip on this car

Try 03114 , sorry if it doesn`t help but worth a try , i think the car is asking you for customer code ,
i can get Transponder codes and Mechanical Key codes but they cost £5 if anyone else is interested .
For what we are about to receive may we be truly thank full.

if you mean by transpoder code the one for the imobaliser chip,

i can get PSA transponder key codes for nothing but the cost of a phone call to the dealer,

and so can anyone as long as you have the last 8 digits of your chassis/VIN No.,

now today the citro dealer is telling me the 5 digit code my DIS LEXIA is asking for is dealer only, and they cant give it out,

Mr Birdman
i tried entering the code you posted and it came up with, the confidential code does not have 1's and 0's in it,

The 4-digit keycode is alphanumeric but will not contain either numbers zero or one or letters O and L as they can be confusing.

The five digit universal code, I copied down as being 03144 but it could be wrong as I've yet to need it.

Mike
my DIS LEXIA on trying to enter the code Mr birdman posted, it came back with "the confidential code can not contain 1's and 0's",

this was the 5 digit code it was asking for,
