If your device ceases to function the device can be repaired with some simple steps. First, ensure that the battery is brand new. Remove the battery from the ignition and then press the lock button rapidly three times.
Battery
The simplest way to fix the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The fob has a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032, the CR2025) It can be found in a variety of general stores or home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Make sure you use the latest battery- old batteries are often not useful anymore and could cause damage to the circuit board.
Start by prying the fob open. It may be tight, but with the aid of a flat screwdriver you will be able split the two halves. Then, you can insert the screwdriver in the seams on both sides of the fob and raise a couple clips to secure it. They are easily broken so proceed slowly and with care.
After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and test it to see if everything is working just as it should. If it doesn't work, try pressing the button several times and checking that the contacts are in good order. You could also try the fob with a spare to determine if the issue is confined to your key. If it isn't then there could be a different reason for why the key fob isn't working. For example it could be because the button is worn out. This would only cause the button to operate occasionally, not every time.
Interference
The key fob has tiny transmitters to transmit a short-range radio signal to a receiver in your vehicle. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob and open its doors when you approach it and start when you hit the ignition button inside.
Interference can occasionally interfere with communication. For instance, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it can prevent you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).
Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. This includes garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter inside your home could be causing interference with the tire pressure, but this would be difficult for a professional to test.
It's possible that your key fob needs to be modified. This procedure requires the transmitter inside your fob to be identified by the receiver in your mini car key not working and a unique code is used for each pairing. The fobs will typically need to be reprogrammed when they're disconnected or replaced, when you purchase a new one, and in some cases the battery is changed. Follow the steps in your owner’s manual to reprogram a key fob or consult a dealer.
Chips that aren't working
Modern electronic key fobs offer convenience and functionality over traditional manual keys, but they are also more susceptible to being damaged. A defective chip is one of the most common issues that can stop your key fob from functioning correctly. Luckily, this is usually an simple fix.
If your fob is always failing to turn on your car, this could be a sign that the chip has become defective. It is generally possible to fix the issue by simply replacing the battery. This is an inexpensive and easy fix that can be purchased at any hardware store or retailer. To avoid any further issues, make sure you purchase a battery that is compatible for your car model.
It is also important to make sure that the fob is not exposed to soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and disrupt the circuitry. If this is the case, you will have to wash it with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner before putting in an entirely new battery.
It is a good idea to test the function of the fob before driving the vehicle. Check the voltage of the new battery using an voltmeter and make sure it is safe.
