A dead coin battery is the most common reason for the malfunction of a key fob. Other causes include water damage malfunctioning receiver modules and signal interference.

Dead Coin Battery

Replace the battery if the key fob has died. Use a button cell with the same voltage, size, and specifications as the old one.

If the key fob has been exposed to water, for example a splash of rain or salt water on the beach, it will need to be cleaned before it can be used again. A paper towel soaked with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner can help.

If the key fob is not working despite not being exposed water it could be due a malfunction in the receiver module or internal electronic chip. In these instances it is possible to re-programme the key fob using an OBDII scanner may help.

Water Damage

There could be water damage if your key fob was submerged in a pool, puddle or washing machine. You can usually get it working again by taking off the battery and then scrubbing the circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. It's a good idea allow the fob to dry completely before putting in a new battery.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob is equipped with an electronic chip that communicates with the vehicle's system. If this chip becomes damaged, it cannot longer transmit or receive signals to the vehicle. This can be caused by dropping the key fob, or through exposure to water. If your key fob has stopped functioning due to water exposure and you are unable to fix it if clean the chip using electronic cleaner or isopropyl ethanol.

If the key fob doesn't respond to cleaning, it is likely that the module is in a fault and needs to be replaced. A malfunctioning receiver module could also cause the remote control key to cease functioning. This is often caused by electromagnetic interference.

Electronic chip that is malfunctioning

The electronic chip that is in your key fob plays a crucial role in the anti-theft system of your vehicle. It sends a signal to the immobiliser unit of the vehicle to determine whether or not the key is legitimate. If the chip is damaged or broken, your vehicle will not start.

A faulty chip may also be caused by interference from other objects, weather conditions or transmitters near your vehicle. In this instance, you will need an entirely new key fob.

Faulty battery contacts

The battery contacts of the fob's battery can be damaged by heavy usage. If they're bent or broken, the fob won't transmit any signals to receiver modules in the vehicle.

The key fob is equipped with chips that communicate with the vehicle's immobilizer system in order to allow it to start. The system utilizes the old red keys for older vehicles, or the cryptocoding system that is used in newer cars. This chip will have to be replaced if defective.

Faulty 12 Volt Batterie

A faulty battery may cause the key fob not to function. When this happens, the car's computer system won't recognize that the remote is inside the vehicle.

Before you replace the battery, test it using a a voltmeter to determine its capacity. A fully charged battery should display 12.6 volts. If the reading drops dramatically then it's time to replace it.

Place an electrical load for a short period of time on the battery to check its capacity. This will remove 1percent of the charges. Then, you can measure the voltage again. The higher the capacity of the battery and fiat abarth Key the longer it can keep its voltage. The ideal is to keep it close to 12 volts over several minutes.

Faulty Radio Signal

This is the main reason for the key fob not sending signals to a car. This problem can be solved by replacing the battery. However, it is important to choose a battery that has the same size and voltage as the original one.

Fobs can take a lot punishment, and aren't indestructible. Battery contacts and buttons can be damaged through rough handling.

A signal may also be impacted by other objects or transmitters that operate on the same frequency. For instance, a light control panel near your home may send interference on the same frequency as key fobs use. This can affect the remote control of your car.

Afflicted OBDII Scan Tool

There are a variety of reasons why scanners may not work. Certain are more complicated than others.

Professional scan tools let mechanics to look over the car's network and run various self-tests. These can be real time-savers, but they're also expensive, and Fiat Abarth Key beyond the reach of most DIYers.

If your OBD2 scanner isn't turning on make sure you check the voltage at terminal 16 (scan tool power) and terminal 4 (chassis ground). If these are OK the chances are that a fuse is blowing. This is the most frequent cause of scan tool failure. The most straightforward fix is to replace the fuse that is blowing up.
