Problems with warning light and ignition on Peugeot Rifter Diesel 2019

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Peugeot Rifter Diesel 2019. The warning light in the speedometer flashes, the car can no longer be unlocked or locked properly and it won't start. I've already thought about whether the Hall sensor for the ignition key might be faulty. Have any of you ever had experience with a problem like this or, even better, experience from the garage? I'm looking forward to your tips and experiences. Many thanks!

Hi, I know the problem. My 2017 Peugeot Traveller Diesel had similar symptoms. I only have some experience with cars, but I went straight to the garage. They found that the control unit was faulty and it had to be replaced. It cost me around 600 euros. However, before I can give any more details or offer any more help, I would need some more information about your car. Have you by any chance already read the fault memory? Have you tried a different battery? I would be delighted if you could give me this information so that I can perhaps help you better.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply! I have indeed already had the fault memory read out, but there was nothing conspicuous to be found. I haven't tried a different battery yet, but I might do that. Incidentally, my Peugeot already has 156166 kilometers on it and the last service was just over 6 months ago. Hopefully that helps you. Maybe you have another idea of what could be done. Thank you!

Hello, thanks for the additional information! Given the high mileage and the age of the car, it's quite possible that something could break. I was just guessing about the control unit, but that doesn't necessarily apply in your case. But if the fault memory doesn't show anything, then it could be something more complicated. It's good that you want to change the battery. I would also recommend this as the next step. When changing it, you should make sure that all contacts are clean. Maybe it's just a bad connection somewhere. I would suggest that you check that and if the problem still persists, you might want to have an expert look at it. It could also be a problem with the immobilizer system or a faulty relay, but these are just guesses. I wish you good luck with this and let us know what you find out. Greetings!

Hello, thank you very much for the advice! I will definitely change the battery and see if that might solve the problem. Your other assumptions also sound plausible, but I'm probably better off having it checked by an expert. Well then, I'll have a go and get back to you as soon as I have any news. Thanks again for your help! Greetings back!
