Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work The Qashqai's bigger dimensions give it a distinct SUV-like ambiance. Its 19-inch alloy wheels in Ti and STL models can also be a bit firm. The front tyres of Qashqai may also lose grip on rough surfaces, and its CVT can sometimes display a wrist-flexing torque steering. This is typically caused by an unresponsive battery, which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Make sure that the replacement battery is the same size, voltage and specifications. Water Damage One of the most common reasons why a Nissan key fob will give the “key ID is not correct” message is due to water damage. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that protect the chip inside, but prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to stop working properly. It's common to see this happen if your key fob has been dropped in the ocean or swimming pool. However, it could also occur when it's wet due to rain or soapy hand. If your key fob has been exposed to water for many years then you might need to clean it using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. It might also need to be sent to an expert to repair or replace it. If your key fob does need to be replaced, the procedure is relatively easy. Make sure you have the correct multipack (CR2032, 3V). Open the back and front cases with the small flathead screwdriver.

If it isn't then you'll have to take it to a Nissan dealer or professional auto locksmith to repair the chip. Fortunately, the chip is not often damaged by water exposure and therefore this shouldn't be a major expense. Dead Coin Battery The coin battery is a second common reason why your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob won't work. They last for three to five years, but may fail over time when the fob is frequently dropped. You could try replacing the battery with a fresh one, but make sure it's the same size and voltage as the original. If you install a new battery, it may cause the key to be assigned a different key ID. This can prevent it from being connected to your vehicle.

They must be connected to the positive and negative poles of your battery. Fault Diagnosis If your Nissan Qashqai's keys fob stops working after being exposed to clean tap or rain water it could indicate that there's a problem with the internal chip.
