Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work The Qashqai's bigger dimensions give it an SUV-like feel. Its 19-inch alloy wheels on Ti and STL models can also be a bit firm. The front tyres of Qashqai are also prone to losing grip on bumpy surfaces, and the CVT could occasionally display a wrist-flexing torque steering. TheKeyLab is usually caused by an inoperable coin battery, which can be replaced in just a few minutes. Make sure that the replacement battery is of the same voltage, size and specifications. Water Damage One of the most common reasons that a Nissan key fob gives the “key ID is incorrect” message is due to water damage. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that protect the electronic chip inside. However, prolonged exposure to moisture could cause it to stop working properly. This is typically the case when you drop your key fob in the ocean or in a swimming pools, but it could happen when it's wet due to rain or soapy hands. If your key fob is exposed to water for a lengthy period of time, it might need to be cleaned with isopropyl ethanol or electronic cleaner. It may also need to be taken to a specialist for repair or replacement. If your key fob need to be replaced the process is simple. First, make sure you have a multipack with the correct battery (CR2032 3V). Unlock the front and rear cases using the flat-head screwdriver. Remove the metal clips, remove the battery, and then replace it. Reassemble the fob and replace the mechanical key. Check that it works correctly. If it does not then you'll have to take it to an Nissan dealer or professional auto locksmith to replace the chip in the key. The chip is not usually damaged by water and therefore should not be too expensive. Dead Coin Battery The coin battery is another frequent reason why your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob may not work. They last for three to five years, but may fail over time if the fob has been dropped frequently. You can replace the battery but ensure it's the same voltage and same size as the first. If you are using an alternative battery, it could cause the key to have an incorrect key ID, that could hinder it from paired with your vehicle. The best method to replace the battery of a coin in the Nissan Qashqai Key Fob is to open it with an small screwdriver that has a flat head. The screwdriver should be inserted into a small notch at the bottom of the fob and turn it around gently to separate the two parts of the key fob. Then, remove the old CR2025 button cell battery and replace it with a new one after noting its position on the fob. Check the terminals for water damage or dirt before installing the new battery. If there is, clean the terminals using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. You should also make sure the pole cables are connected correctly – they should be connected to the positive and negative poles of your battery, respectively. Diagnostics of a fault If your Nissan Qashqai's key fob stops functioning after exposure to pure rainwater or clean tap water it could be a sign that there is a problem with the internal chip. You'll require a new fob if you are unable to fix the issue by replacing the battery. If the key fob didn't work after dropping it, it's likely that the chip inside was damaged. If you clean the chip using isopropylethanol and paper towels and then replace it with the key fob, you will usually get it working again. Key ID Incorrect is a common error that you can see on the dashboard of your vehicle. This means that the vehicle cannot recognize the key fob and not allow it to start the engine. This problem could be caused in several ways, such as water damage, problems that are undetectable within the key fob circuitry or RFID interference. The key fob won't work when the 12 volt batteries are dead or fail to provide enough electric current. This will affect the Nissan Qashqai's remote keyless system central locking, as well as the capability to start the engine using the key fob. If you're unable to lock or unlock the door manually you must check the batteries in your key fob to be sure they are in good condition. You may also try reconnecting the battery in order to reset your transmitter. Reprogramming If the key fob has not been submerged in salt water the device should be able to be revived after a simple wash with clean water. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. If none of these works, it may be time to replace the entire key fob with a brand new one. If your Nissan Intelligent Key is still not working, there could be a problem with the connection between it and the car. Start by turning the ignition key without beginning the car. Continue this process until the hazard light blinks twice. Then, turn off the vehicle and take off the key. Open the fob compartment in your vehicle. It's usually in a door jamb on the handle for the driver's door or underneath an armrest. Find the small button labeled “program” and press it. When the process is complete you will hear the sound of a chime. It's time to put your Intelligent Key to the test. Use all the buttons on the key while you are at a distance away from the car. If the lights flash, or the horn sounds, the key is connected to the Nissan. You can also test it in close proximity.
