Nissan Key Fob Replacement

Modern Nissan vehicles are equipped with a wide range of safety features that help keep drivers safe. One of those features is the key fob. If you notice that your Nissan key fob isn't operating correctly, then it needs an upgrade to the battery.

Changing a Nissan key fob battery is straightforward. All you need is a small screwdriver.

Reprograming

The key fob that is found in automobiles is an essential element. This small remote allows owners to lock and unlock their cars and start them from an extended distance. But, like every other gadget it may have issues from time to time. In certain instances these issues can be resolved by changing the program of the key fob to recognize the vehicle. The process isn't so complicated as it might appear, and it's something that most Nissan drivers can complete by themselves.

The owner must first take out the mechanical key in the slot located at the front of the key fob. This is a security feature to stop anyone from not noticing that the engine is running when they are within close proximity to the vehicle. Once the key has been removed and the top of your fob will have an opening that can be made with a screwdriver in order to separate the two halves. The old battery must be removed and replaced by an alternative one. Choose the CR2025 because it is the battery that Nissan key fobs utilize.

It is a good idea after the new battery has been installed, to test the keyfob using any buttons while away from the vehicle. If the car responds in a manner, like flashing lights or announcing that it is ready to start it means that the reprogramming was successful.

Replacement

Modern key fobs are a convenient way to unlock your car doors or to start it up. But like any gadget they come with a limited lifespan. If you notice that your Nissan Intelligent Key remote starts malfunctioning, it may be time for a replacement battery. If your fob is dead and you're left stranded when you need to go to work near Detroit or run essential errands in Southfield or have an evening out near Troy.

It's simple to change the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key. Start by flipping over the key fob, then push the small slider at the back. This will reveal the mechanical key inside the fob's back. The key must be removed before you can replace the battery inside the fob.

Then, find a notch on the top of the fob, and use the screwdriver's flat-headed head to turn it. This will split the fob's casing in two pieces that allow you to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Note the position of the previous battery as you'll need to put the new one in the same spot to ensure that your fob functions properly. After you've installed the new battery, you can clip back the two halves of the Nissan Intelligent Key and test to determine if the device is working as you is expected.

Your key fob is the ticket to your next adventure, but if it's dead or not working your next adventure could be in jeopardy. Fortunately Nissan's certified technicians as well as parts experts have you covered!
