A bad FOB key battery can also cause the key to work improperly or not at all. The batteries are usually low cost, cheap and easily available in the market area, it’d be better to check the manual provided with the FOB keys of your car to know about the efficiency, exact size and type of the batteries. FOB battery is a simple button cell that you can easily find at the store near you or select one from here.
Get behind the steering wheel
Once you check and find that the battery of your FOB key is in good working condition, get inside the car along with the remote and the car keys that you have to program. After sitting in the driver’s seat, close all doors of your car and make sure that all of them are properly locked. It is important as it can create problems during reprogramming your FOB keys.
Turn on the car ignition
After closing all the doors, lock all the doors of your car, start the ignition and turn it to the on position and make sure all the electrical systems are working. Now, Make sure that your ignition is not started.
Press the remote’s lock button
All key FOBS have several buttons on them, which include open, lock, and alarm buttons. Certain advanced cars also have buttons to start the engine. After aiming your remote towards the transmission receiver, anywhere located in front of the car, press the lock button on the remote and turn the key in the off position. Repeat this process several times and don’t wait while repeating this process again and again.
This process will activate the car’s electronic control system and will send signals to the ignition to save the data as soon as the process will be completed.
Wait for the light and locking sound
Now, listen to the locking sound and when you hear it means that you have entered the programming mode. But if the sound and light do not emerge after this, then do the whole process again and again until you hear the locking sound. The moment this process is completed, you need to press the lock button again in a few seconds, and the programming will be done with it. Make sure you’re working at a constant speed otherwise you will have to go through the whole process again if it gets deactivated.
Your job is done
Now, when once you have finished with the FOB programming and tested its functionality, turn off the ignition to successfully end the programming process of FOB.
