7 Simple Tricks To Refreshing Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob
Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work

The Qashqai has a distinctly SUV feel to it thanks to its larger dimensions, and the 19-inch wheels on Ti and ST-L models may be firm at times. The front tyres may lose grip on rough surfaces and its CVT might occasionally exhibit wrist-flexing torque steer.

This is usually the result of dead batteries, which can be replaced in just a few minutes. Be sure that the replacement battery is the same size, voltage, and specification.


Water Damage

Water damage is among the most common causes that cause a Nissan keyfob to display the "key ID wrong" message. The key fob has rubber seals that shield the electronic chip inside. However, prolonged exposure to moisture could cause it to stop working properly. This is often the case when you drop your key fob in the ocean or into a swimming water pool, but it could occur if it becomes wet due to soapy hands or rain.

If your key fob has been exposed to water for an extended period of time, it could need to be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner. It may also require taking to an expert to repair or replace it.

If your key fob needs to be replaced, it's an easy process. Make sure you have the correct multipack (CR2032 3V). Unlock the front and rear cases using the flat-head screwdriver. Remove the metal clips, take out the battery that was in place and replace it. After reassembling the fob put the mechanical key back into place and verify that it functions as intended. If it isn't, you will need to take it to your local Nissan dealer or an expert auto locksmith to repair the chip on the key. The chip is not usually damaged by water so it should not be too expensive.

Dead Coin Battery

The coin battery is another common reason for why your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob might not work. The batteries last for about three to five years, but may fail over time if the fob has been dropped frequently. You could replace the battery but make sure it is the same voltage and same size as the first. If you choose to use a brand new battery, it may cause the key to be assigned a wrong key ID. This could prevent it from being connected to your vehicle.

The most effective method to replace the battery in the Nissan Qashqai key fob is by removing the fob with an incredibly small screwdriver with a flat head. Insert the screwdriver into a small notch on the bottom of the fob, and move it around to separate the two halves of the key fob. Remove the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a brand new one, observing the position of the old one in the fob.

Before you put the new battery in check to ensure there isn't any water damage or dirt on the terminals. If so clean the terminals with some isopropyl ethanol. Make sure that the pole cables are connected correctly. They must be connected to the positive and negative poles of your battery.

Diagnostics of a fault

If your Nissan Qashqai's primary fob isn't working after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain it could indicate that there's a problem with the internal chip. You'll require a new keyfob if you can't solve the issue by replacing the battery. If you dropped the key fob on the ground and it stopped working immediately, this is most likely because it has damaged the internal chip. It is usually possible to get the key fob to function once more if you remove and clean the chip using paper towel and isopropyl alcohol and then put it back in.

Key ID Incorrect is a typical mistake that you might see on the dashboard of your vehicle. This means that the car cannot recognize the key fob and not allow it to start the engine. The issue could be caused by many things, including water damage, undetectable malfunctions in the key fob's circuitry or RFID interference.

If the 12 volt battery in your key fob broken or is not supplying enough electric power, it will stop working. This could affect the remote keyless system and central locking of your Nissan Qashqai, as well as preventing you from starting the engine using the key fob (if equipped with Intelligent Key). Check how do you reprogram a nissan key fob push start in the key fob if you're unable to lock or unlock your door manually. You can also try re-inserting the battery to reset the transmitter.

Reprogramming

If the key fob was not submerged in saltwater the device should be able to come back to life by a simple wash of clean water. You can also try cleaning the electronic chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. If none of these work, it may be time to replace the entire key fob with a brand new one.

If your Nissan Intelligent Key still does not work, there might be a problem connecting between it and the vehicle. To reconnect it, start by turning the key into the ignition, without turning on the car. Repeat this process until the hazard light flashes twice. Then, turn off your vehicle and remove the key.

Open the fob compartment of your vehicle's fob compartment. It's usually located in the door jamb, on the handle for the driver's door or underneath an armrest. Find the small "program" button and press it. Once the process is completed you will hear an emitted sound.

Now that your Intelligent Key is relinked to the car is the time to test it out. Stand some distance away from the vehicle, then press all the buttons on it. If the lights flash or the horn sounds, the key is connected to the Nissan. You can also test it close to the Nissan.
