Key Fob questions

[markjon]

Lately every time I enter my car I get the message that the key fob battery is low. Even after installing a fresh battery I get the same warning. The car will operate normally but I'm sure something is a miss. My spare fob, which has a much older battery doesn't do this. Does anyone have any insight for this problem? Has anyone else had the same?

When I change the battery, it usually still shows that message the next 2-3 times/days I get in the car ... it should go away soon.

I get a message that says my keyfob isn’t detected, to move it around, so I just jiggle and it goes away. It’s weird because no other vehicle has ever had this issue.

How weird. I’ve never had a key fob issue. I wish we could go the Tesla route and be keyless and use the phone as key.

I had this issue too when using a fresh battery I had at home from a blister pack. Ordering a new battery made resolved the issue. Ie very fresh

I’ve had this problem a few times. I’ve tried everything including cleaning the battery and contacts to the battery but in the end I had to replace the battery even though the one I used came out of a new pack. From now on I will check the voltage on the coin cell before I install it to see if the battery is already lower than it should be.
