From 1997 onwards, Citroen vehicles utilised keys that did not have transponders (chip). Keys of this type are programmable on site without the need for specialist equipment.

Troubleshooting
Fault diagnosis is a process that pinpoints the source of a problem so that corrective actions can be initiated. It is usually referred to by the term fault isolation, and is a critical component of automated systems for operations management. It involves three steps which are localization, estimation and detection.
Simulation is a common method for diagnosing faults. It allows you to test the possible response to tests in the case of different faults. The results are stored in databases. Then, when an experiment is conducted and the results are compared to the expected results. If the actual results are in line with one of the expected results, the fault is identified. The process of identifying faults is usually iterative, and is described as a diagnostic tree.

Dead Coin Battery
The most frequent reason for keys that are not locking or unlocking is a dead battery. The button cell battery within the key fob is held in place by metal retaining clips. As time passes, these clips can become looser and weaker. Replace the battery with the new one that is similar in size, voltage and specifications. Also make sure the metal retainer clip is fitted correctly in order to avoid damaging a button cell battery may harm the electronic chip inside.
Faulty key fob
There are several things that could go wrong with your Citroen dispatch remote key. It could be due to a defective transmitter or a dead battery. There could be loose parts rattling around inside the fob, and the LED lights might not be working. In this case it is necessary to contact an auto locksmith to address the problem.
A remote car key (also known as a smart key) incorporates a transponder device inside the head of the key to communicate with the immobiliser system of your car and enable it to start once you insert the key into the ignition. People love these keys because they are convenient and reliable. The keys can be dropped, squeezed, or thrown away, unlike the old flip-key types that are no longer used.
However it is important to be aware that if a key isn't able to start your car, the problem is likely with the immobiliser in the vehicle, not the key. It's not enough to replace the key, it needs to be programmed using the correct equipment by an auto locksmith. This will require an entirely new transponder be programmed into the keys, so they can communicate with the car. They can also open and lock the doors from a distance, without having to touch the lock.
Faulty Receiver Module
The remote keyless receiver module allows your key fobs as well as your vehicle to communicate. If you've verified that the coin batteries are still working and you've reprogrammed the key fobs but they still don't work it could be due to the receiver module.
It could have stopped sending radio frequency signals or it may have simply become faulty due to age. This is a common issue and an auto locksmith will need to replace it.
