Key Fob
If your car key fob stops working and you are unable to use it, try a few things to solve the issue. Depending on the reason for the problem, you might have to replace the battery, program the remote keyless system receiver module or both.

The most common reason for a key fob's ability to not function is the battery has died. The transmitter portion of the key fob is home to the flat disc battery (CR2025, the CR2032). The key fob is easy to replace - just remove the transmitter part by using a screwdriver on the area marked with an arrow. Remove the battery with a flat surface and replace it with another one, making sure that the positive side of the new battery is facing upwards.
The key fob is fitted with metal clips that bind the battery and complete the circuit. If these are loose, it can cause an issue with the contact and block the remote from receiving commands. Examine the battery's contacts using a multimeter or a voltage meter to ensure that they are in good condition. If not, the problem is most likely with the transmitter module or the electronic chip. You can try reprogramming the keyless entry system using an OBDII scan.
