Key Fob
If your car key fob fails to function and you are unable to use it, try a few options to resolve the issue. Depending on the cause of the issue, you may need to replace the battery, program the remote keyless system receiver module, or both. You can also use a metal key that's built into the fob. If this doesn't work then you might need to take your car to the dealer to have repairs.
The most frequent reason for a key fob's ability to not function is a dead battery. The transmitter part of the key fob houses a flat disc battery (CR2025, and CR2032). The key fob is easy to replace by removing the transmitter component using a screwdriver on the area marked with an arrow. Take off the flat battery and insert the new one, making sure that the positive side of the new battery is facing upwards.
The key fob comes with metal retaining clips that hold the battery in place and complete the circuit. If they're not secure they could cause poor contact and stop the remote from receiving commands. Examine the battery's contacts using a multimeter or voltage meter to make sure they are in good condition. If not, the problem could be related to the transmitter module or the electronic chip. You could try reprogramming the keyless entry system receiver module using an OBDII scanner.
