Dead Coin Battery

The key fob is an amazing invention that lets drivers lock and open their vehicles without having to put a key in the ignition. This is done by radio frequency signals which communicate with the onboard computer of the vehicle.

Depending on your Hyundai model, you might or not get an alert when the battery is nearing the end of its life. It is best to have a spare key fob with you to quickly replace the battery if it is worn out.

Once the new battery is in place the key fob needs to be reprogrammed in the car. This can be done using the Hyundai Digital Key app or an OBDII scanner, however it's generally easier to do at your Reno home. Follow the directions in the owner's manual or search YouTube for"how to replace and open a Hyundai keyfob battery."

However, it's not indestructible and will eventually wear out due to regular use. Fortunately, replacing the battery of a Hyundai i10 key fob battery is fairly simple and affordable.

Dropping your key fob in an puddle, a pool or even the washing machine isn't uncommon and is often rescued, but only if you act swiftly. Water isn't a good combination when it comes to electronics and a wet key fob could cause a variety of issues, such as corrosion, short circuits, and even complete failure.

First, try to remove as much water as possible. Shake out any visible moisture by flipping the fob. You can also use a hairdryer or place it on the radiator to speed up drying. After you've removed as much moisture as you can, consider placing the fob in a place that is warm and dry, where it will continue to dry out for some time.

Then, open the fob to take out the battery that was in it. The majority of Hyundai key fobs with the i10 model use the same kind of battery that's used in many quartz watches and are generally easy to replace. After replacing the battery, take a picture or note the location of the battery prior to closing the fob.

Poor Battery Contact

The battery on your key fob might be drained. This is a typical issue. The remote will exhibit signs of problems before it's totally gone. Make sure that the metal clips that hold the remote are in good shape and don't have any corrosion on them. If they do, clean them with a suitable battery cleaning solution and wire brush. Then, ensure that you're using a button-cell battery that is the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.





This could be a sign your alternator may not be functioning properly. The alternator is the device that recharges your battery when you are driving. An alternator that is not working properly will drain the battery quickly, causing the warning light to turn on.

You can tell if your Hyundai is affected by a quick voltage test. If the battery is functioning properly it's possible the issue is with the circuit board or a different component of the key fob. Press a small metal button or tab on the front or back of the key fob in order to open it. After you take off the cover, put in the new CR2032 battery, and ensure that all the connections are contacted.
