Replacement Nissan Key Fob
Nissan smart keys offer an extra layer of security against theft using radio frequencies and sophisticated encryption. However, these systems are powered by an internal battery which will eventually weaken and require replacement.
Replacing the battery on a key fob is an easy process. Boch Nissan's certified technicians and parts experts are ready to help.
Battery
The Nissan key fob is a vital component. It lets you unlock your doors, start your car, and perform other functions. So when it stops working you'll probably want to know what the issue is. It is possible to fix it by replacing your battery.
A brand new CR2032 battery can be purchased at a hardware store or discount grocery store at a cheap price. You'll need a small, flat-headed screwdriver to remove the back panel off of your key fob. Most models have a tiny tab or notch that you could slot your screwdriver into to separate the fob in two parts. After you have opened the key fob, take off the battery and replace it with the new one. Make sure that the new battery is aligned correctly.
Depending on your Nissan model, you might be required to confirm that the battery is of the correct type. This information is usually found in the owner's manual or on the backside of the fob that you use to open the key. Replace the battery in the fob and snap the cover shut. Examine it to ensure that it is working. YouTube has many helpful videos that can help you find a solution to any issue. If you require assistance, contact your Nissan dealer in Farmington Hills.
Programming
Modern Nissan vehicles are equipped with the key fob, which offers a lot of added convenience and functionality compared to a manual key. However, they could also be more susceptible to battery problems and may require replacement over time. This is an easy fix that you can do at home.
The first step is to take off the existing battery. To do this, locate a small hole at the back of the keyfob and pull it downward. This will open the stored mechanical key that serves as an emergency starters. This is something you will be able to have in your possession and return when the replacement is completed.
After removing the old battery, note the location and the way it was mounted. You'll need a flat-head screwdriver in order to lift the battery. Replace the battery you have used with the new one. Make sure that the side facing upwards is facing downwards. Reassemble the case and check it to confirm that everything is working properly.
You should now be in a position to start your car by pressing any button on your fob. You can also test the connection by pressing any button in your car's dashboard. If G28CarKeys have any questions or require help with your Nissan vehicle, contact the service center at Boch Nissan South.
Locks
The Nissan Intelligent Key is designed to lock and unlock your car, and unlock the trunk with the click of a button. It may be that there's a second issue if it still does not work after replacing the battery and programming. In some cases, a damaged fob requires replacement of a component or repairs to a circuit board to re-function. 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 an upgrade. In some cases, the problem could be corrected by 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 inside your Nissan's key fob takes only a few minutes. The process involves handling sensitive and fragile electronic components which is why it is crucial to wear gloves (preferably made of latex or another non-latex alternative). You will also need a flathead screwdriver, as well as a new CR2032 3V battery.
To change the battery, begin by entering your vehicle and ensuring that all of the doors are closed and locked. Then push the unlock button on your key fob six to 10 times. Then, insert and remove the key from the ignition. Don't turn the key to start the vehicle. You will see the hazard lights flash two times, which means that your Nissan is in programming mode.
Keyless Entry
We have some good news for you if you believe that your key fob does nothing other than unlock and lock your car. Certain modern fobs can actually roll down the windows of your car and start it when you tap the key on the rear bumper.
Unlike the old-fashioned key, which has just three locks, these newer systems are built on RFID technology. The key fob is equipped with an embedded microchip that has a specific frequency that communicates with the receiver inside your car which allows you to open the doors and trunk. Some models even recognize you when you come in with the fob, so it knows to automatically unlock and start your car.
Certain models let you open the trunk by waggling your key behind the car. This can be extremely helpful when you're stuffed packed with luggage or groceries. The key fob also has a button that will enable you to start your vehicle by pressing it on the steering wheel. The system can be activated by tapping the brake or clutch button when you press the START/STOP button.
The key fob might be dead if you're struggling to get into your Nissan to do errands in Troy or to go out for an evening. Flip the fob upside down and press the small release latch on the back. You've successfully programmed your replacement Nissan fob if both the lock and unlock light flashing.
