Hi , I need help with my 2009 Peugeot RCZ every time I lock the car using the key fob the alarm ends up going off after 3 minutes exactly and then the key fob stops working and to unlock the car I have to unlock it manually insert the key and turn the ignition to switch the alarm off and then the key fob and central locking again work for another 3 minutes as well every time the alarm goes off and the key fob gets kicked the clock and date in the car reset

does anyone know what the problem is I’ve done a bsi reset as well as checked the battery…

you may need to scan the car for any fault codes or electrical faults the alarm is part of the central locking system now don't quote me but it may be the BSI needs to be reset as this controls all the ancillaries like central locking alarm lights etc There are post's on here how to go about doing this procedure
The only other thing that might cause issues is the key needs reprogramming as if their dropped on the floor the chips inside become damaged so the car picks up conflicting signals making the systems fail to operate properly I read somewhere that the car will retrain the key from the ignition barrel during the BSI reset so may be that might sort the issue if its the key code error

If you want to try a BSI reset,

Here is the BSI reset procedure:-

BSI reset....

Put the drivers window down, lift the bonnet & ensure all equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from ignition,
Wait 3 minutes, disconnect vehicle battery & wait 15 seconds.
Reconnect battery, wait further 10 seconds (do not open doors)
Switch on the side lights through the drivers window.
Switch on the ignition & check systems functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
Remove key open & close door, test central locking system.
Start the engine & complete the system check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items.

Let us know if this helps.
