What are the reasons for a car's one-button start not responding?

The reasons for a car's one-button start not responding are: 1. The remote key is out of battery; 2. The receiving module inside the car is damaged; 3. The transmitting module of the remote key is damaged; 4. The steering wheel is locked. The functions of one-button start: 1. No need for the original car key or remote to open the door; 2. Automatically closes the windows when leaving the car; 3. Beneficial for night driving; 4. Convenient start-up with self-inspection and protection functions for the original car start system; 5. Equipped with car anti-theft function. The working principle of one-button start: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which automatically locks and unlocks the doors through the chip in the smart card. When the owner approaches the vehicle, the car automatically recognizes the owner's identity, the door locks open automatically, and the anti-theft system is deactivated, eliminating the need for a key.
I remember last time my car had the same issue, the push-button start didn't respond, and I was almost late for work. There are several common causes for this problem: the car key battery is dead, especially for remote keys—no power means no signal transmission. The main car battery voltage might be too low, particularly with aging batteries or in cold weather; you should check it with a multimeter. It could also be that the gear isn't in the correct position—some cars can only start in P or N gear; that time, I forgot to pull the handbrake. Button malfunctions aren't rare either, like moisture or dirt blocking the contacts. If all these are ruled out, it might be a blown fuse or a system software issue. I suggest trying a new key battery first, or jump-starting the car. If that doesn't work, head to a repair shop immediately—don't force it to drive.
