Replacing a Nissan key fob battery is typically a quick and simple process. But first you'll need to know if your car uses an intelligent fob, push to start button or regular remote/non-transponder key.

You'll require your keycode, which you must keep in a safe place and must match the one of your vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Often found in newer cars, transponder keys contain an RFID microchip within the key that transmits a specific code to the car whenever it is put into the ignition. It is designed to prevent theft by ensuring that only the right key can start the vehicle. Contact your local dealer or locksmith to see a demonstration of this technology.

When the transponder key is placed in the ignition, it sends a signal to the chip inside the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). The ECU is then able to determine whether the code contained in the key matches its digital serial number. If it does then the ECU then disengages the immobilizer and allows the engine to start. If the code does not match then the ECU will reject it and stop the engine from beginning.

These keys are more costly than the traditional metal keys, but they provide greater security. However car thieves have evolved to the changing times and have found ways around this security measure, so the extra cost is not enough to keep them from doing anything.

Many people wonder if they can copy a transponder key for themselves. The answer is yes, but it's best to leave the job to professional auto locksmiths. Additionally, the process could vary based on the vehicle's make and model.

Mechanical Keys

Many older nissan juke key fob replacement cars came with mechanical keys. These traditional keys did not have remote functions and could only be used to unlock the doors of the vehicle and the ignition cylinders. A locksmith can change the inner components of a damaged key or a damaged case and create a key replacement that works like new. A reputable and experienced auto locksmith can also cut keys at a cheaper cost than the dealership.

There are a variety of types of mechanical keys that each have its own unique replacement procedure. Linear switches have a linear actuation chart for example. When you press the button down it will move until it comes to an obstruction. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the switch will send an indication to the car to start it up.

Intelligent keys have an internal chip that communicates with the computer system of the vehicle. If you lose your key it will have to be replaced with a new one that has been programmed to work with the vehicle. This requires a more advanced key technology that is only available through a specialized locksmith for cars. It is more expensive than a typical key replacement at the dealership.

Key Fobs

Key fobs have been a standard feature in most cars since the late 1990s. They let you unlock and lock the alarm of your car with the pressing of a button. Many people believe that these systems are so secure that only a person with your key code can take off with your car. But this isn't always the case. In just a few easy steps, less scrupulous people can exploit these systems.

If your Nissan's key fob isn't working as it should, you may require replacing the battery. The rechargeable CR2025 and CR2032 batteries that are used in the majority of key fobs will last around two years. If you're not certain how to change the battery, refer to your owner's manual for guidance.

If your key fob doesn't work due to a larger problem, it may need to be replaced or programmed. These problems can be more difficult to fix than a simple battery replacement, and they may require the help of an expert auto locksmith. Certain locksmiths specialize in replacing and repairing smart keys and can provide you with a OEM intelligent key for a lower cost than the dealer. They are also able to be at your location, avoiding you the inconvenience of having to drop off your vehicle at a service center. They are open 24 hours a days all week long.

Remotes
