What does nokey flashing mean?

nokey flashing means that the key is not detected. The possible reasons may be that the smart key is too far from the induction of the one-button start, the smart key has no power, or the smart key is broken. The car smart key is a common keyless entry system, also known as the smart key system, referred to as PKE. It is a control system composed of a transmitter, a remote central control module, a driving authorization system control module, three receivers, and related wiring harnesses. When the key approaches the car, the door will automatically unlock and the anti-theft alarm will be deactivated, with corresponding flashing lights to remind the owner that the car is unlocked. When the key moves a certain distance away from the car, the door will automatically lock and enter the anti-theft alarm state, with corresponding flashing lights or a short horn sound to remind the owner that the car is locked.
Hey, I also encountered the car key light flashing non-stop last week when I was rushing to pick up my kid from school. That little blinking light usually means the key battery is running low, and the system is reminding you to replace it soon. Or it could be that the car isn't detecting the key signal, like if it's in a thick bag or pocket and can't sense it. I tried restarting the car, but it didn't help; later, I bought a CR2032 battery and replaced it myself, and it worked immediately—super easy. Remember to use the spare key to start the car first to avoid getting stranded on the road. If this issue isn't addressed, it might completely prevent the car from starting, requiring a tow. Regularly check the key battery—usually replace it every two years—to save a lot of trouble.
