Battery

The most common reason for a key fob not to work is a dead coin battery. It can also be by water damage or interference with the signal, or an unreliable module. In these situations it is possible to use an OBDII scanner tool to check if the remote antenna for keyless entry has errors.

If the key fob still isn't working after replacing the battery it is worth trying a replacement to rule out any issues with the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob prevent it from submerging in water. However, submerging it in a pool or ocean can damage the electronics.

Transponder Chip

A transponder chip is an electronic circuit that is built into your car key. This chip is programmed using specific code that matches the immobiliser system of your car. This ensures that only the correct key can be used to start your vehicle.

Without the chip and the chip is not present, your car will not start. The transponder transmits an audio signal to the car's immobiliser system when you turn the key into the ignition. The chip transmits a number also when you press the unlock button on the key fob. If you lose your transponder key, it must be replaced.

You could be waiting for a week or more. Additionally the dealer will charge you more than a locksmith who is independent or a key replacement shop for cars.

A key fob is a device made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When it gets close to a fob reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob will be energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This power then flows to the microcomputer inside the fob, and it transmits a unique number that serves as your identity card.

The key fob is displayed to the reader so that it can be matched to the number that is stored in its memory. This process is known as "key matching" and is utilized by the vehicle's security system to verify that you're the legitimate owner of the vehicle. Once the keys are matched then the reader will be allowed to start the vehicle and unlock the doors.
