Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won’t WorkThe Qashqai has a distinctly SUV feel to it thanks to its larger dimensions, and the wheel sizes of 19 inches in Ti and ST-L models may be a bit stiff at times. Its front tyres can also lose grip on rough surfaces and its CVT could occasionally exhibit wrist-flexing torque steer.This is typically caused by the battery being dead that can be replaced in just a few minutes. Make sure the replacement battery is of the same size, voltage and specifications.Water DamageOne of the most frequent reasons a Nissan key fob gives the “key ID is incorrect” message is due to water damage. The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the chip’s electronic components, however long-term exposure to moisture can cause it to stop working effectively. This is typically 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 over an extended period of time then you might need to clean it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. Alternatively, it might require a visit to a specialist for repair or replacement.If your key fob needs to be replaced, it is quite simple to do. Make sure you have the right multipack (CR2032, 3V). Then, you can open the front and back cases using a small flathead screwdriver. Remove the metal clips, remove the battery, and then replace it. After reassembling the fob put the mechanical key back in position and ensure that it is working correctly. If not then you’ll need to take it to your local Nissan dealer or a professional auto locksmith to replace the key chip. The chip is not usually damaged by water, so it shouldn’t be too expensive.Dead Coin BatteryAnother reason why your Nissan Qashqai key fob may not work is that the battery in the coin has gone dead. They typically last for 3 to 5 years, but they may fail with time, particularly if the fob is dropped frequently. You could try replacing the battery with a new one, but make sure that it’s the same voltage and size as the original. If you choose to use a brand new battery, it could cause the key to be assigned a different key ID. This could prevent it from being connected to your vehicle.The best way to replace the battery in the Nissan Qashqai key fob is by prying open the fob with an incredibly small screwdriver with a flat head. In the screwdriver, push it into an angled notch on the bottom of the fob and turn it around gently to separate the two parts of the key fob. Remove the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a new one, making note of the position of the previous one inside the fob.Check the terminals for any water damage or dirt before installing the new battery. If there is, wash the terminals using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the pole cables are properly connected. They should be connected to the negative and the positive poles of your battery.Fault DiagnosisIf your Nissan Qashqai key fob stops working after exposure to clean rain or tap water it could be an indication of a chip issue inside. Change the battery won’t fix this issue, and you’ll have to buy a new key fob. If you dropped the key fob on the ground and it stopped functioning immediately it’s most likely due to damage to the internal chip. If TheKeyLab clean the chip with isopropyl ethanol and paper towel and then insert it into the key fob, you can typically get it working again.Key ID Incorrect is a typical error that you can see on the dashboard of your vehicle. This means that the car cannot recognize the key fob, and will not allow it to start the engine. The problem can be caused by several things such as water damage, undetectable problems in the key fob’s circuitry or RFID interference.The key fob will not function if the 12 volt batteries are dead or do not provide enough electrical current. This could affect the remote keyless system as well as central locking in your Nissan Qashqai, as well as stopping you from starting your engine with the key fob (if equipped with Intelligent Key). Check the batteries inside the key fob if it is in a position to lock or unlock your door by hand. Try re-inserting the battery to reset the transmitter.ReprogrammingIf the key fob has not been submerged in salt water the key fob should be able to be restored to its original state after a quick wash with clean water. You can also clean the electronic component using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. If none of these works then you might need to replace the key fob.If your Nissan Intelligent Key is still not functioning, there may be an issue with the connection between it and the car. To relink it, start by turning the key into the ignition but without starting the car. Continue doing this until the hazard lights flash twice. Turn off the vehicle and remove the key.Open the fob compartment of your vehicle’s fob compartment. It is typically located in a door jamb on the driver’s side door handle or underneath an armrest. Find the small “program” button and press it. You should hear a chime sound after the process has been completed.Now that your Intelligent Key is relinked to the car now is the time to try it out. Click all the buttons on the key while at a distance away from the car. If the lights flash and the horn sound it means that the key is successfully linked to the Nissan. You can also test it near the Nissan.
