Battery

The most common reason for a key fob to not work is a dead battery. However, it could also be caused by signal interference, water damage or a faulty receiver module. In these instances the OBDII scan tool can be used to determine whether the remote keyless entry antenna displays errors.

If the key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, it may be worthwhile to try the spare to determine if there are any internal issues with the chip. The key fob features rubber seals that keep it from being exposed to too much water, however, submerging it in the ocean or a pool could damage the electronics.

Be sure to use a battery of the same voltage and size. Once the new battery is installed, the cover can be closed and the key fob will be working once more.

Transponder Chip

A transponder chip is an electronic circuit that is embedded in your car key. It is programmed with a unique code to match the immobiliser mechanism of your car. This ensures that only the correct key can be used to start your car.

Without the chip, your car will not start. When you switch on the ignition the transponder transmits the radio signal which is received by the immobiliser system in the car. The chip transmits a code as well when you press the unlock button on the key fob. If you have lost your transponder, it must be replaced.

Key fobs are small device that has an electronic chip, battery, and a metal key shell. When it gets close to an reader on the fob, copper coils on both sides of the fob will be energized and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity.

The key fob is then displayed to the reader in order that it can be matched to the number that is stored in its memory. This method, referred to as "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle to confirm that the owner is authorized. When the keys are matched and the reader is able to start the car and unlock the doors.
