Interference The key fob uses an insignificant transmitter to send an audio signal that is short-range to a device in your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you are near it, as well as start when you push the ignition button within. The issue is that interference can occasionally interfere with this communication. For example, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it can stop you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration). Other electronic devices that utilize the same frequency as the fob can interfere with its signal. Garage door openers or tire pressure monitoring devices can be affected. Even a transmitter inside your home could be causing interference, but this isn't easy for an expert to test. It's possible that your key fob needs to be changed in its programming.

Water is a common cause of corrosion, which could cause issues with the circuit board. If this is the case, you will need to clean the circuit board with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner prior to installing a new battery. It is a good practice to test the functioning of the fob prior driving the vehicle. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage of the replacement battery to see if it is at an acceptable level.
