It is easy to replace the Nissan key fob's battery. It's all you need is a small screwdriver.
Reprograming
The key fob that is found in automobiles is an essential component. This small remote allows owners to lock and unlock their vehicles and start them from an extended distance. Like any gadget this one may have problems. In certain instances the issue can be solved by reprogramming the key fob to recognizes the vehicle. It is not so difficult as it could appear and the majority of Nissan drivers are able to do it themselves.
To begin the process, the owner must take the mechanical key from the slot that is located on the front of the fob. This is a precautionary measure to prevent anyone from accidently starting the car while they are close to it. Once the key has been removed from the top of your fob will be adorned with an notch that can be made with a screwdriver in order to split the two halves. The old battery needs to be removed and replaced with a brand new one. Make sure to use a CR2025 which is the battery that Nissan key fobs use.
It is a good idea, once the new battery has been installed to test the keyfob by pressing one of the buttons while away from the vehicle. The reprogramming is successful if the vehicle responds by flashing its lights, or announcing that it's ready to go.
Replacement
Modern key fobs are a handy method to open your car's doors, or start it up. But, just like any other gadget they come with a limited time of use. It could be time to replace the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key remote if it starts acting up. If the remote is dead and you're left stranded should you have to travel to work in Detroit or run essential errands in Southfield or go on a night out near Troy.
Fortunately, replacing the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key is relatively simple. Begin by flipping the key fob and then pushing the small slider in the back. This will open the back of the fob. This will reveal an undiscovered mechanical key inside. You'll need to take out this key before continuing with the fob battery replacement.
Then, look for an opening on the top of the fob and use an screwdriver that is flat to turn it. This will split the fob casing into two parts and allow you to take out the old battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure you note the location of the previous battery because you'll have to put the new one in the same position to ensure that your fob operates properly. After you've installed the new battery, snap the two parts of your Nissan Intelligent Key back together and test it to verify if it works exactly as you would expect.
