Battery

The most frequent reason for a key fob to not work is a dead battery. However, it can also be caused by water damage, signal interference or a faulty receiver module. In these instances you can make use of an OBDII scanner to determine if the remote antenna for keyless entry has errors.

If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it may be worth trying the spare to rule out any internal issues with the chip.

Transponder Chip

A transponder is a tiny circuit that is embedded into your car keys. This chip has a unique code that is programmed to match the vehicle's immobiliser system. This ensures that only the correct key is able to start your vehicle.

Without the chip, your car will not start. When you switch on the ignition the transponder sends out the radio signal which is received by the immobiliser system in the car. The chip also transmits a keycode when you push the unlock button on your key fob. If your key is equipped with transponder chip, it is required to be replaced when it's lost.

A key fob is a device that consists of a computer chip and a metal shell. When it comes close to the reader of the fob, the copper coils on both sides of the fob are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob. It transmits a unique number, which is your identification credential.

The key fob will then be shown to the reader so that the number stored in the memory can be compared. This process is referred to as "key matching" and is used by the security system in the vehicle to verify that you are the legitimate owner of the car. When the keys are matched and the reader is in a position to start the car and open the doors.
