The KeyLab Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work The Qashqai's larger dimensions give it an SUV-like ambiance. Its 19-inch alloy wheels in Ti and STL models can also be a bit firm. The front tyres could lose grip on rough surfaces and its CVT might occasionally exhibit wrist-flexing torque steer. This is typically caused by a dead coin battery which can be replaced in just a few minutes. Make sure the replacement battery has the same size, voltage, and specification. Water Damage One of the main reasons why a Nissan key fob will give the “key ID is not correct” message is due to water damage. The rubber seals on the key fob protect the electronic chip, but prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to malfunction correctly. It's normal to see this happen if your key fob was dropped into the water or in a swimming pool. However, it could also occur when it is wet due to the rain or soapy hands. If your key fob was exposed to water for a long period of time then you might need to clean it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. It might also need to be sent to a professional to be repaired or replaced. If your key fob does require replacement, the procedure is relatively simple. Make sure you have the correct multipack (CR2032, 3V). The front and rear cases using the flat-head screwdriver. You'll have to remove the clips for retaining metal and pull out the battery that was in place, and then insert the new one. Reassemble the fob and replace the mechanical key. Check to see if it functions properly. If not then you'll need to bring it to a local Nissan dealer or an expert auto locksmith to replace the chip that controls the key. The chip is typically not damaged by water and shouldn't be too expensive. Dead Coin Battery The coin battery is a second common reason that your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob may not work. These batteries last for three to five years, but will eventually fail if the fob has been frequently dropped. You can replace the battery, but make sure it is the same voltage and same size as the original. If you use a 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 most effective method to replace the battery of a coin on a Nissan Qashqai key fob is by removing the fob with an incredibly small screwdriver with a flat head. The screwdriver should be put into a small notch on the bottom of your key fob. Simply twist the screwdriver to split the two halves. Then, take out the old CR2025 button cell battery and replace it with the new one after confirming its position in the fob. Before you put the new battery in place be sure that there isn't any dirt or water damage on the terminals. If there is, clean the terminals with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. You should also make sure the pole cables are plugged in properly – they must be connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery, respectively. Troubleshooting If your Nissan Qashqai key fob stops working after exposure to pure rain or tap water, it may be an indication of an internal chip issue. You'll need a new keyfob if you can't resolve the issue by changing the battery. If the key fob didn't work after you dropped it, it is likely that the chip inside was damaged. If you clean the chip with isopropyl ethanol and a paper towel, then replace it in the key fob, it is possible to generally get it working. One common error you may see on your car's dashboard is “Key ID Incorrect.” This means that the vehicle cannot recognize the key fob and not allow it to start the engine.

This will affect the Nissan Qashqai's remote keyless system central locking, as well as the capability to start the engine with the key fob. If you are unable to lock or unlock the door manually it is recommended to check the batteries in your key fob to make sure they're in good shape. You can also try installing the battery again to reset your transmitter. Reprogramming Unless the key fob has been submerged in salt water, it should be able to be restored to its original state after a simple wash with clean water. You can also clean the electronic chip using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. If none of these work it could be time to replace the entire key fob by a new one. If your Nissan Intelligent Key still does not work, it could be a connection issue between it and the vehicle. Start by pressing the ignition key, but without initiating the vehicle.
