Battery

The simplest way to fix your key fob's battery is to replace it. The key fob is powered by a tiny coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is usually available in general stores and home improvement stores, as well as some auto parts stores. Make sure to use a brand new battery -- old batteries are often no longer good for anything and can damage the circuit board.

Begin by removing the fob. It may be a bit tight, but with the aid of a flat screwdriver you should be able to separate the two halves. Install the screwdriver into the seams on both sides of the fob, and lift the clips that secure it. They can easily break so be cautious and take your time.

After replacing the battery take the fob apart and test it to see if everything is working exactly as it should. If it doesn't function after pressing the button several times, ensure that the contacts are clean. You can also test the issue with a spare fob to see if the problem is confined to your key. If not, there may be another reason behind the key fob to not function. It could be a worn-out button, as an example. This could cause the button to work at times, not always.

Interference

The key fob uses tiny transmitters to transmit a radio signal of a short range to a device in your vehicle. Its function is to allow your vehicle to recognize the key fob, unlock its doors when you are near it, and then turn on when you push the ignition button.

The problem is that interference can sometimes hinder this communication. For example, if you are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it could hinder you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency could also interfere with the fob's signal. This can include garage door openers, as well as tire pressure monitoring systems. It is even possible that an RF transmitter within your home might be interfering with the fob's signal, however, this is difficult to identify without a professional test.

The key fob might require reprogramming. This requires the transmitter on your fob to be recognized by the receiver in your mini car key cover and a specific code is assigned to each pairing. Fobs typically need to be reprogrammed when they're disconnected or replaced, when you buy a new one and, in some instances when the battery is changed. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual for how to reprogram your key fob or seek assistance from a dealer.

This is a low-cost and simple fix that can be purchased at any hardware store or large retailer. To avoid any further issues ensure that you purchase the correct battery for the car model you have.

The fob should not be exposed to water, or soapy residue. The presence of water can cause corrosion, which can cause interference with the circuit board. If this is the case, you'll need to clean the circuit board by using isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to installing a new battery.

Once the old battery is replaced, it's an excellent idea to test the functionality of the fob before driving the vehicle. Check the voltage of the new battery using an voltmeter to make sure it's secure. If not, you might require replacing the entire remote chip. A certified dealer technician will determine the best option for you vehicle.
