Although it can be a bit frustrating to have a fob stop working, it's fairly common and can be repaired. In most cases, it's a replacement of the battery.

What is a keyless entry system?

The keyless entry system that is in your vehicle is a remote control system that allows you to lock and unlock your car without physically inserting the keys. It's typically on a key fob, or built into your ignition key handle. Some models also offer the option of remotely locking the tailgate and trunk.

The system transmits an audio signal to the computer in your car. The car then interprets the radio signal to determine if it's the correct key. If it is, the doors will automatically unlock and the engine can be started. The key fob itself comes with a security chip, or transponder, which prevents the car from starting if the wrong key is used.

Keyless entry systems have advantages and drawbacks. Children can accidentally activate them through playing with them, or they can be turned on when the owner isn't in the vehicle. This can cause power windows and other features of the vehicle to operate without the owner’s consent or knowledge or consent, and may trigger the alarm.

Another issue is that there are a myriad of ways for thieves to breach the security of keyless entry systems and hacked into the computer of your vehicle to make it believe your key fob is close enough to allow you to start your car. It is therefore important to make sure that you have a backup working key or fob.
