Nissan Key Fob Replacement
Modern Nissan automobiles are equipped with a myriad of features that help ensure that drivers are safe. One of these features is the key fob. If you notice that your Nissan key fob isn't operating correctly, then it requires an upgrade to the battery.
It is simple to change the Nissan key fob's battery. You will only need a small screwdriver.
Reprograming
The key fob is one the most crucial components of any vehicle. The tiny remote allows owners to lock and unlock their vehicles as well as start them from a distance. However, just like other devices it may have occasional issues. In certain instances problems, they can be resolved by programming the key fob in order to recognize the car. It's not as difficult as it might seem, and the majority of Nissan drivers can do it themselves.
To begin the process, the owner must take the mechanical key from the slot on the front of the fob. This is a security measure to prevent anyone from not noticing that the engine is running when they are in close proximity to the car. Once the key is removed, a notch will appear on the top of the fob which can be turned with a screwdriver to split the two components of the fob. The old battery needs to be removed and replaced by a new one. Use a CR2025, as it is the battery that Nissan key fobs use.
It is a good idea when the new battery has been installed to test the keyfob by pressing any buttons while standing far from the vehicle. The reprogramming is successful if the car responds by flashing its lights or signaling that it's ready for start.
Replacement
Modern key fobs allow you to start your car, or open the doors. Like all devices they have a short lifespan. It's time to replace the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key remote if it starts acting up. If the fob is dead and you're left stranded in the event that you have to go to the office near Detroit or run routine errands from Southfield or have a night out near Troy.
It's easy to replace the battery inside your Nissan Intelligent Key. Start by flipping over the key fob before pushing the small slider on the back. This will reveal a hidden mechanical key on the fob's back. The key must be removed before replacing the battery inside the fob.
Next, locate a notch on the top of the fob and then use an screwdriver that is flat to turn it. This will split the fob's casing in two pieces which allows you to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure you note the location of the previous battery as you'll be putting the new one in the same spot to ensure that your fob functions correctly. After putting in the new battery in, clip the two halves of your Nissan Intelligent Key back together and test it to determine if it functions in the way you expected.

You'll want to use caution when you attempt to open the fob's casing, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do it. Avoid using G28 that are close to the battery as they can harm the internal workings of the fob. Test the battery in the fob once you have it.
