The most common cause of key fob malfunction is an inoperable coin battery. Other causes include water damages or a malfunctioning module and interference signals.
Dead Coin Battery
If the battery in your key fob has died, the first thing to do is replace it. Make use of a button cell battery that has the same voltage, size, and specification as your old one.
If the key fob has been exposed to water, such as a splash of rain or salt water at the beach, it needs to be cleaned before it is able to be used again. A paper towel soaked in alcohol or electronic cleaner can help.
If the key fob hasn't been exposed to water, but remains inoperable it could be due to a problem with the receiver module or an internal electronic chip. Reprogramming the keyfob with an OBDII scan may help in these cases.
Water Damage
It is possible to get water damage if your key fob was submerged in a puddle, pool or washing machine. It is usually possible to get it back to working by removing the battery and scrubbing the circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. It's best to let the fob completely dry before putting in the battery.
You may have a faulty module in the event that your key fob stops working after replacing the battery or replacing it with. You can find the instructions for changing the programming of most remote keys on YouTube or consult the owner's manual. You could also try resetting the car's onboard computer with the OBDII scan tool.
Faulty Receiver Module
The key fob has an electronic chip that communicates with the car's system. If this chip becomes damaged, it can no longer transmit or receive signals to the vehicle. The key fob being dropped can cause this, as could water exposure. If the key fob stopped working after water exposure it is possible to fix the issue by cleaning the chip with isopropyl alcohol, or electronic cleaner.
If the key fob won't respond to cleaning, it's possible that the module has an issue and must be replaced. A damaged receiver module may also cause the remote control key to not function. This is often caused by electromagnetic interference.
Electronic chip that is malfunctioning
The electronic chip in your key fob is an important component of the anti-theft system in your vehicle. It sends a signal to the immobiliser inside your car to inform it whether the key is legitimate. If the chip is damaged or broken, your car will not start.
A malfunctioning chip can be caused by interference from objects, bad weather or transmitters located near your vehicle. In this case, you will need an entirely new key fob.
Contacts for the battery that are defective
The battery contacts on a key fob can be damaged by heavy usage. If they're bent, or damaged, the fob will not send any signals to receiver modules in the vehicle.
Modern fobs come with rubber seals that block out water. A splash of water or a light rain is acceptable however, submerging them in saltwater can harm the electronic chip.
The key fob houses the chip that connects to the vehicle's immobilizer in order to begin it. This system uses crypto coding systems in modern vehicles, or the old red key system for older ones. If the chip is not working properly it will have to be replaced.
A faulty 12 Volt battery
A malfunctioning battery could cause the remote to cease working. The car's computer will not recognize the remote when this occurs.
Test the battery with an voltmeter prior to replacing it to determine its capacity. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. If the reading falls dramatically it is time to replace the battery.
Install an electrical charge for a short period of time on the battery to determine its capacity. This will remove about 1 percent of the charge on the surface. Then measure the voltage again. The longer a battery is able to keep its voltage steady and the higher its capacity. Ideal is that it stays close to 12 volts for several minutes.
The radio signal is not working properly. Radio Signal
This is the main reason for keys not sending signals to cars. This issue can be resolved by replacing the battery. It is crucial to buy an identical battery dimensions and voltage as the original.
Fobs are not indestructible and are susceptible to damage. The battery buttons and contacts are delicate, so they can get bent or damaged from the force of.
The signal could also be affected by other objects or transmitters which use the same frequency. For instance, a light-control panel in your home could send interference over the same bandwidth that key fobs utilize. This could affect the remote control of your car.
Problems with OBDII Scan Tool
There are many reasons why scanners may not function. Some are more complicated than others.
Professional scan tools enable mechanics to observe the car's network and perform various self-tests. These tools can save you a lot of time, but they are costly and are out of reach for the majority of DIYers.
If your OBD2 scan tool fails to turn on, check voltage at terminals 16 (scantool power) and 4 (chassis earth). If all is fine, a fuse may have ruptured. This is one of the most frequent causes of scan tool failure. It is usually easy to fix the issue by replacing the fuse that has blown.
