Signs You Need Programming, Not a Battery

If a fresh battery doesn’t restore range, buttons work intermittently, or the car displays a key-not-detected warning with a fob that used to work, the fob has likely lost its pairing or failed internally — both are things we diagnose and fix at your vehicle. Check the NHTSA recall lookup too: fob and ignition faults occasionally have open recalls.
