Reason three: The control unit of the key is damaged. 4. Reason four: The receiving unit of the vehicle itself has a problem. The solutions for the Great Wall H6 not detecting the key are as follows: 1. Key battery is dead: This is a relatively common situation, just replace the battery. 2. Severe signal interference in the surrounding environment: Hold the key in your hand and bring it close to the steering wheel to see if it can be detected. You can also use the mechanical key to drive the car to another location and try again. If it works, it means there is severe signal interference near the car. 3. The control unit of the key is damaged: This situation cannot be resolved on your own. You can only contact a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop by phone to seek help from professionals.
This issue of the Changan CS55 not detecting the key, I've encountered it often in my twenty years of driving. The button battery in the key is the most prone to draining, especially over time or in cold weather—try replacing it with a new one; you can buy one online for just a few bucks. Also, nearby phone chargers or metal objects can interfere with the signal, so avoid piling the key with electronic devices. If the key itself has been dropped or damaged by water, comparing it with a spare key will tell. The car's receiving antenna or circuitry might be faulty, like getting damp in rainy weather, causing signal reading failures. It's best not to tamper with the key or car system casually to avoid software glitches. Experienced drivers know that mishandling such small issues can cause trouble, so it's wise to have the mechanic check the key's condition during regular maintenance—safety first.
