Battery
A dead coin battery is the most frequent cause of a key fob that is not working. It could also be caused by water damage, interference with the signal, or an inoperative module. In these instances OBDII scan tools can be used to see whether the remote keyless entry antenna has displayed errors.
If the key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, it may be worth trying the spare to determine if there are any internal issues that could be affecting the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob stop it from submerging in water. However submerging it in a ocean or pool could harm the electronic components.

Be aware that using the wrong or uncompatible batteries could damage the key fob. Make sure you use a battery with the same voltage and size.

Transponder Chip
A transponder is an electronic circuit that is embedded into your car keys. The chip is unique in code that is programmed to match the car's immobiliser system. This ensures that only the correct key will be able to start your car.
Without the chip, your car will not start. When you turn on your ignition the transponder emits a radio signal that is received by the immobiliser system of your car. The chip also transmits a keycode when you activate the unlock button of your key fob. If your key is equipped with transponder chip, it is required to be replaced in the event of its loss.
Most auto dealers will replace your key with new keys that include an transponder chip. The process can be lengthy and costly. You may even have to wait for at least a week. In addition the dealer will cost more than an independent locksmith or a car key replacement shop.

A key fob is a small device that houses an electronic chip, a battery and a keyshell made of metal. When it comes close to an RFID reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob energize and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. This power then flows to the microcomputer on the fob, which transmits an unique number that acts as your identity card.
The key fob is displayed to the reader in order that it can be matched to the number in its memory. This process, commonly referred to "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle to ensure that the owner is authorized. Once matched, the reader can then begin the engine and open the doors.
