Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work

The Qashqai's greater dimensions give it a distinct SUV-like feel. Its 19-inch alloy wheels in Ti and STL versions can also be firm. The front tyres of Qashqai can also lose grip on rough surfaces, and the CVT may occasionally display a wrist-flexing torque steering.

It is usually due to dead batteries that can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Make sure that the replacement battery is of the same size, voltage, and specification.

Water Damage

Water damage is one of the most common causes for an Nissan keyfob to display the "key ID wrong" message. The rubber seals on the key fob protect the chip's electronic circuit, but prolonged moisture exposure can cause it not to work correctly. This is typically the situation if you've dropped your key fob into the ocean or a pool in a pool, but it can also happen if it gets wet due to soapy hands or rain.

If your key fob has been exposed to water for a long period of time and you're not sure, clean it with isopropyl, or an electronic cleaner. It may also need to be sent to a specialist to repair or replace it.

If your key fob needs to be replaced, it is quite simple to do. First, make sure you have an appropriate multipack battery (CR2032 3V). Open the front and rear cases using the flat-head screwdriver. Remove the metal clips, remove the old battery and replace it. Reassemble the fob and replace the mechanical key. Verify that it is working properly. If it isn't it is necessary to bring it to a local Nissan dealer or a professional auto locksmith to repair the chip that controls the key. Fortunately, the chip is not often damaged by water exposure, so this should not be a huge expense.

Dead Coin Battery

Another common reason the reason your Nissan Qashqai key fob might not function is that the battery in the coin has gone dead. They typically last for 3 to 5 years, but they may fail with time, particularly if the fob is frequently dropped. You could try replacing the battery with a new one, but make sure that it's the same size and voltage as the original. If you replace the battery, it could cause the key to be assigned an incorrect key ID. This will stop it from being connected to your vehicle.

The best method to replace the battery of a coin on the Nissan Qashqai key fob is by prying open the fob with an small screwdriver that has a flat head. The screwdriver should be inserted into a small hole on the bottom of the key fob. Simply twist the screwdriver to divide the two halves. Remove the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a new one, making note of the position of the old one in the fob.

Check the terminals for any water damage or dirt before installing the new battery. If there is, wash the terminals with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the pole cables are properly connected. They should be connected to the negative and the positive poles of your battery.

Fault Diagnosis

If your Nissan Qashqai key fob stops working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, it may be a sign of an internal chip issue. You'll require a new keyfob if you are unable to fix the issue by changing the battery. If the key fob stopped working after you dropped it, it is likely that the chip inside was damaged. If you clean the chip using isopropyl ethanol and a paper towel, then replace it in the key fob, you'll generally get it back to working.

A common error that you will see on the dashboard of your vehicle is "Key ID Not Correct." This means that the car is unable to recognize the key fob and not allow it to start the engine.

This could affect the remote keyless system and central locking in your Nissan Qashqai, as well as making it impossible to start your engine with the key fob (if equipped with Intelligent Key).

Reprogramming

You can also try cleaning the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. If none of these work it could be time to replace the entire key fob with an entirely new one.

If your Nissan Intelligent Key is still not working, it could be a problem with the connection between it and your car. To reconnect it, start by turning the key in the ignition without starting the car. Continue this process until the hazard light flashes twice. Then, turn off the vehicle and take off the key.
