How to Replace a Hyundai I10 Key Fob Battery

The Hyundai i10 is among the most elegant cars on the market. Its interior is more stylish than rivals like the Citroen C1, Volkswagen UP, and SEAT Ibiza.

Hyundai's keyfob can accomplish many things for you. It can lock and unlock your vehicle remotely. It also comes with a mechanical key that you can use in the event the battery in the fob fails.

Dead Coin Battery

The key fob is an amazing invention that allows drivers to lock and start their vehicles without having to insert a physical key in the ignition. It does this using radio frequency signals that communicate with the vehicle's computer.

The battery in the keyfob is the one responsible for communicating. It will eventually get worn out, and it will have to be replaced. Depending on your Hyundai model, you might or may not get a warning when the battery is about to fail. Keep a spare keyfob on you to change the battery promptly when it begins to wear.

The key fob needs to be programmed again to the car after the new battery has been installed. This can be done using the Hyundai Digital Key app or an OBDII scanner, but it's usually easier to do at your Reno home. To accomplish this, follow the instructions in the owner's manual or search YouTube for "how to open and replace a Hyundai key fob battery." Make sure you note down the old battery's code or take a photograph of it before you remove it.

After the key fob is reset, it should function again. If it doesn't work you'll have to go to a dealer for a replacement or contact a locksmith. They'll have the knowledge and tools to fix the issue.

Water Damage

A key fob is an extremely useful piece technology. It allows you to lock your vehicle from the comfort of home, roll down your windows from outside and even start your vehicle. However, it's no guarantee of durability and will eventually wear out from regular use. Fortunately, replacing a Hyundai i10 key fob battery is simple and inexpensive.

The accidental dropping of your key fob into the pool, a puddle or even the washing machine isn't unusual and it is usually saved, but only when you act swiftly. Water isn't a good combination when it comes to electronics and a wet keys fob can lead to many issues, such as corrosion, short circuits, and even complete failure.

In the beginning, you must try to remove as much water as possible. Shake out any visible moisture by flipping the fob. It's also possible to place it on top an electric radiator or a hairdryer to accelerate the process. After you have removed all moisture you can, it's worth placing the fob somewhere that is dry and warm where it will dry out for several days.

Next, you should attempt to open up the fob and remove the battery that was in it. The majority of Hyundai i10 key fobs use the same kind of battery that's used in many quartz watches and are generally easy to replace. Once you've replaced the battery, you must take a photograph or take an outline of how the fob is placed before closing up the fob.

Contact with the battery is poor

The battery in your key fob could be depleted. This is a frequent problem. Usually, the remote will begin to display signs of trouble before it is completely destroyed. Verify that the metal clips are not corroded or loose. If not, use a wirebrush along with the cleaning solution for the battery to clean them. Then, ensure that you are using a button-cell battery that is the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.

It could be a sign that your alternator, which is the part that charges the battery while the engine is running, is not working properly. A malfunctioning alternator will drain the battery quickly and cause the warning light to come on.

You can determine if the Hyundai is affected by a quick voltage test. If the battery is operating then the issue could be with the circuit board, or with other parts of the key fob. You can open the key fob by pressing a small metal tab or button on the back or front of the unit. After you remove the cover, put in the new CR2032 battery, making sure that all the connections are in contact.

Reprogramming

Hyundai provides keyless entry on all of its models. This makes cruising around Littleton and Parker, CO, easier than ever. If you have a key fob, you can unlock and lock your car's doors and start the engine with the remote. But, it's not completely safe and a damaged or broken key fob could cause issues. If your Hyundai key fob isn't working it might require reprogramming to work with your vehicle.

The first thing you should do is to remove the battery. Typically the button cell is housed inside an aluminum tab. If you decide to open the tab and replace the battery, be sure to use the same size and voltage as the old battery.

Once the battery has been replaced, close up the tab and replace the retaining clips. Then, test the key fob to determine if it's still working.

If your key fob not working, you may need to call a locksmith or dealer. A dealer or locksmith can cut a new key and remote for you, and they can also program the key to work with your car. They will usually charge a fee to do this, but it's worth the investment if you need your Hyundai key fob to continue to work. They can also assist you in finding the right Hyundai key fob to meet your requirements.
