There are many reasons why the key fob might not function properly, such as an inoperative coin battery damage to the receiver module or signal interference. This article will guide you through the steps needed to get it working again.
Water Damage
If your key fob for the seat alhambra can withstand the wash cycle or a dip in the ocean or in a pool, then it's got a waterproof chip. However, don't do it often, as prolonged exposure to water increases the chance of the key fob being damaged. If the key fob stops functioning after exposure to clean tap water or rain, then just remove the battery, clean the electronic component using a paper towel and allow it to dry completely before putting it back in. If the battery is exposed to salt or soapy water it is recommended to wash the chip using isopropyl alcohol or a electronic cleaner prior to attempting to insert the battery back in.
Faulty Receiver Module
If the key fob will not lock or unlock after you've replaced the battery of the button, it is possible that the receiver module has an issue. The good news is that it is a relatively simple and cost-effective fix. You can disconnect the 12 volt battery for several minutes (first remove the negative cable then press the horn button several times) to remove any remaining electricity, and then connect it in reverse order e.g. positive cable first and then negative.
ESP Warning Light – If the ESP symbol blinks, it is normal. It indicates that you're driving on terrain with poor traction. This could be due to snow, gravel or surface water. If the ESP light is constantly on, it is a sign that there is a flaw in the system. It can be detected with a iCarsoft i908 seat OBD code reader kit. It will provide the full description of the problem.
Dead Coin Battery
A dead coin battery is among the most common causes for the seat alhambra keys to stop working. The key fob contains an insignificant button cell battery that keeps it powered. Replace it with a brand new battery that is the same dimensions, voltage and specs as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob remove all metal clips and ensure that the contacts of the key fob are in good condition and free of corrosion.
If the key fob was exposed to water (such as soapy tap water), it is recommended that you remove and clean the chip with an electronic cleaner or isopropylethanol prior to installing a new battery. The chip could be permanently damaged by water. If the key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, it could be necessary to replace the entire key fob.
Faulty Receiver Module
If your key fob has stopped working after you replaced the battery but it did not help, or if it just stopped working suddenly The receiver module could have developed an issue. The receiver module receives the radio frequency signals from your key fob's remote and converts them into electrical commands that are then followed by other modules inside the car.
If the receiver module has suffered a malfunction it will not respond to any of the commands sent by your remote key fob. In The Key Lab is necessary for a dealer to reprogram your key fob and install an entirely new receiver.
The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that stop water from getting into the electronic chip inside. If you immerse the key fob in salty or soapy water it could cause damage to the chip. You can try to clean the chip by applying isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, however in the event that your key fob isn't working after this, you'll have to purchase a replacement.
If the keys have been paired, but the receiver module is not working You can try to restart all of the electronics on board by disconnecting the 12-volt battery for a couple of minutes. Then reconnect the battery in reverse order (negative cable first followed by positive). This will reset the on-board electronic circuits and restore their functionality.
Electronic Chip Faulty
The key fob has tiny electronic chips that transmits a message to the receiver module when the key is used. If the signal isn't in line with the one that the car has stored the immobilizer is disabled and stop the car from starting. However, if the fob isn't functioning and you are unable to reprogram it the issue could be due a damaged chip.
The chip inside the key fob may have to be replaced to allow it to function again. This can be accomplished by taking the key fob away from its housing and using pins or needles to make contact with each metal retaining clip. If they are corroded or damaged, you'll have to replace them in order for the remote control to work. Make sure that the replacement batteries are the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.
