With a new model currently on sale, the jumbo family MPV is even more impressive. There are many reasons why the key fob might not perform as it should, including an inoperative coin battery, water damage to the receiver module or signal interference. This article will walk you through the steps to make sure it works. www.g28carkeys.co.uk If your seat alhambra key fob is able to withstand the wash cycle or a bath in the ocean or pool then it's probably equipped with an amazing waterproof chip. However, do not make it a habit because prolonged exposure to water increases the risk of the key fob getting damaged. If the key fob ceases to working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, then just remove the battery, clean the electronic component with paper towel and allow it to dry completely before putting it back into. If the key fob has been exposed to salty or soapy water and salty water, it is recommended you clean the chip using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. Faulty Receiver Module If you have tried an entirely new battery for your button and the key fob doesn't lock or unlock then it's likely the receiver module has found a fault. The positive side is that this is a simple and affordable fix, you can just remove the battery 12 volts for several minutes (first remove the negative cable, then press the horn button a few times) to eliminate any remaining electrical current and then reconnect it in reverse order e.g. Positive first followed by negative. ESP Warning Light – If the ESP warning symbol flashes this is normal and indicates that the car is traveling over terrain where the traction of the road surface and tyres aren't as good, like snow, gravel or lots of surface water. If the ESP light is always flashing, it is a sign there is a problem with the system. It is possible to identify the problem by using an iCarsoft i908 seat OBD code reader kit. It will provide you with a the full description of the problem. Dead Coin Battery One of the most common reasons for the seat alhambra keys to stop functioning is a dead coin battery. The key fob is powered by a tiny button-cell battery. It is recommended to replace it with a new one that has the same size, voltage and specifications as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob, remove all metal clips and ensure that the contacts on the key fob are in good condition and free of corrosion. If the key fob has been exposed to water, such as rain or soapy water it is recommended to take the battery off and clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or a electronic cleaner before putting in the new battery. The chip is susceptible to moisture and could be permanently damaged. If the key fob doesn't work after replacing the battery, it may be necessary for you to replace the key fob. Faulty Receiver Module If your key fob stopped working after you replaced the battery but it didn't help, or it just stopped working suddenly, then your receiver module could have developed an issue. The receiver module receives the radio frequency signals from the remote keyfob and transforms them into electrical signals that are then processed by other modules within the car. If the receiver module is damaged it will not be able to accept any commands from your remote key fob. In this instance, a dealer will need to reprogramme the key fob, and also install a new receiver. The key fob has been sealed by rubber to block water from entering the electronic chip. If you immerse the key fob into salty or soapy water it could damage the chip. If your key fob won't work, try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. If the keys have been linked, but the receiver module is not working it is possible to restart all the electronics on board by disconnecting the battery with 12 volts for a few minutes. Then reconnect the battery in reverse order (negative cable first, then positive). This will reset all the electronics onboard and will bring them back into operation. Electronic chip that is malfunctioning The key fob contains tiny electronic chips that transmits a signal to the receiver module when the key is used. If the signal received does not match that stored by the car, the immobilizer will disable the engine and prevent the vehicle from beginning. If the key fob isn't functioning and you are unable to reprogram it, it could be due to a faulty chip. The chip inside the key fob may need to be changed to allow it to function again. The best method to do this is by removing the key from its housing and using a pin or needle to make contact with each of the metal clips that hold it. If the clips are corroded, or damaged, you'll need to replace them to allow the remote control to function. Make sure that the replacement batteries have the same size, voltage and specification as the original.
