What are the reasons why the car key cannot sense to lock or unlock the door?

Introduction to the reasons why the car key cannot sense to lock or unlock the door: 1. Car key malfunction: The malfunction of the car key may be caused by damage to the internal circuit due to mechanical impact or burning of the transmitter components after water ingress. 2. Dead battery: A dead battery can cause the car's sensor to fail to work, unable to receive the signal emitted by the key, resulting in sensing failure. 3. Electromagnetic interference: If the environment where the car owner is located has electromagnetic interference, it can cause signal transmission disorder, making it impossible to accurately identify the car key signal. 4. Poor soldering in the distribution box: Poor contact caused by poor soldering can also lead to the failure of the sensor's operation. The most "down-to-earth" method is to gently tap the distribution box with your hand, which might reconnect the poorly soldered points. However, professional repair shops should still be visited for a proper fix. 5. Sensor module failure: A malfunction in the sensor module is equivalent to directly losing the "connection" object, rendering the signal emitted by the car key ineffective at this time.
Last week, I also encountered the issue of my car key not being detected, which was really frustrating. At first, I thought the key was broken, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the most common problem—the battery was dead. The coin battery inside the key had run out of power after prolonged use, so it couldn’t send the signal. After replacing it with a new battery, the problem was solved. This reminded me of the importance of regular checks; typically, the battery needs to be replaced every one or two years. If the issue persists after changing the battery, it might be due to damage to the key itself, such as being dropped or exposed to water, which could cause a short circuit. That time, after trying for a while in the garage, I realized that a nearby phone charger was interfering with the signal—moving to a different spot fixed it. Don’t overlook such situations; address them promptly to avoid frustration when you’re out. Also, always carry a spare mechanical key for emergencies. If all else fails, visit a professional shop instead of stubbornly delaying your plans.
