Intelligent key not working after changing battery

Marc · 01-16-2014, 12:15 PM

Hi there!

During the winter break I let my Z`s engine run a few minutes every three or four weeks.
Unfortunately the batteries of both keys were empty so I had to stick them into the "fobgina". But after changing the cell (actually it is NOT a battery because that means at least two single cells are connected in series) it didn`t work either!
After a frightfull time of weired dreams of dead keys and OBD-odyssey ( just kidding...) I found out, that cheap cells DO NOT WORK!
So if you also have that issue just try using good CR2032s like Panasonic, Energizer ....!

Have great time

Marc
