Replacement Nissan Key Fob
Using sophisticated encryption and radio frequencies, Nissan smart keys provide enhanced security against theft. However, these systems are powered by an internal battery which will eventually weaken and need replacement.
Replacing a key fob's battery is a straightforward process. Fortunately, the vetted technicians and parts specialists at Boch Nissan are ready to assist!
Battery
The key fob is a pretty important part of your Nissan key fob. It allows you to unlock the doors, start your engine, and perform other functions. When it stops working you'll want to know what the issue is. The solution is by replacing the battery.
A brand new CR2032 battery can be purchased at a hardware store or discount grocery store for a low price. You'll require a small, flat-headed screwdriver in order to remove the back of your key fob. Most models have a small tab or notch that you can slot your screwdriver into to separate the fob in two pieces. After you have removed the fob from its socket, take off the old battery, and then insert the new one, ensuring that it's oriented correctly.
Based on the Nissan model, you might have to verify that the battery is of the correct type. This information can be found in the owner's guide or on the backside of the fob that you use to open the key. Once you've gotten the right battery, insert it into the fob, close the cover closed, and check it out to see if it functions. YouTube has many useful videos that can help you find the solution to any problem. If you still need help get in touch with the service department at your Nissan dealer close to Farmington Hills.
Programming
Modern Nissan vehicles come with a keyfob that offers much more convenience and functions than traditional manual keys. Unfortunately, they can also be more susceptible to battery issues and require replacement in the course of time. Fortunately, this is an easy fix that is done at home.
The first step is removing the existing battery. To do this, look for an elongated catch on the back of your key fob and pull it downwards. This will let go of the stored mechanical key that acts as an emergency starter. You should keep this key handy and return it once the replacement has been completed.
After removing the old battery, record the location and the way it was placed. To remove the battery, you'll require a flat-head screwdriver. Replace the battery you have used with the new one. Make sure that the plus side is facing down. Reassemble The Keylab and test it to ensure that everything works properly.
It should be possible to start your vehicle by pressing any button on the fob. You can also test the connection by pressing any button in the dashboard of your car. If you have any queries or need help with your Nissan vehicle, contact the service center at Boch Nissan South.
Locks
The Nissan Intelligent Key can be used to unlock and lock your vehicle, and also to open the trunk with just a click. It could be that there is a different issue at play if the fob isn't working after replacing the battery and programming. In some cases an item that is damaged might require a replacement part or repairs to the circuit board to function again. Damage can result from various factors, including water, blunt force, or scratches on the circuit board.
A professional will inspect your Intelligent Key to determine if it's damaged and determine if it will require repairs or replacement. In some instances, the problem may be resolved with a simple, affordable fix. If the issue is more severe then it could be necessary to replace the key.
The process of replacing the battery in the key fob of your Nissan takes only a few seconds. However, this procedure involves touching sensitive and fragile electronics, which is why you should always wear a pair of gloves (preferably latex) or non-latex substitutes. You'll also require flathead drivers as well as an CR2032 battery that is new.
Begin by entering your car, and making sure all the doors are closed. Press the unlock button on your keyfob six to ten times. After doing this then, remove and insert your key from the ignition, but don't turn it on to start the car. You should see the hazard lights flash twice, which indicate that your Nissan is in programming mode.
