If your key fob stops working, it could be due to a few different causes such as: worn buttons, battery contacts not making contact or water damage to the key or receiver module issues.
Troubleshooting
Fault diagnosis is the process that determines the root cause of a problem, ensuring that corrective actions can be implemented. This is usually referred to as fault isolation and is a key element of automation for operations management systems. It consists of three steps that include localization, estimation and detection.

A car remote could become out of sync, causing it to not work correctly. A mobile technician equipped with proper equipment can fix this, saving money as opposed to an auto repair service. Technicians have a special tool to activate your Citroen's remote plip, returning it to working and working and working with the vehicle. This is an easy and quick process that can be completed in only five minutes. It is possible to repeat this procedure for a second plip in case the first one fails.
Dead Coin Battery
A dead battery in the coin is the most frequent reason for a jumpy key fob that doesn't lock or unlock. Metal clips are what hold the button cell battery within the key fob. Over time, these clips can become weaker and looser. Replace the old battery with a new one that has the same size, voltage and specifications. Make sure that the metal retainer clip has been properly installed. A button cell battery that is replaced improperly could damage the electronic chip.
Key Fob Not Working

You might hear loose parts moving around inside the fob or the LEDs may not be functioning. In these instances you'll need to contact an auto locksmith to fix your issue.
The remote car key, also known as the smart key, uses a transponder in the head to connect with the immobiliser system in the car and allows it to start once you insert the key. These keys are extremely sought-after by customers due to their ease of use and reliability. The keys are also very robust and can be dropped, squeezed, or toss around, unlike the old flip key types which are now obsolete.
It is important to keep in mind that if your car key does not start your vehicle it is most likely an immobiliser in your car and not the key. It's not enough to replace the key, it needs to be reprogrammed with the right equipment by an auto locksmith. This will require that the transponder be programmed into the keys so they can communicate with the vehicle.
