What is the reason for the flashing of GAC keybatt?
2 Answers
GAC keybatt flashes because the remote key battery is dead and needs to be replaced. After replacing the remote battery, start the car to see if it still flashes. If it does, turn off the ignition and restart the car, and you will find that the BATT battery icon disappears. Here is an extended introduction: BATT introduction: BATT stands for battery, and the flashing BATT indicator means that the remote key battery is low on power. Generally, the battery of a car remote can last for more than 2 years. If you find that you need to be very close to the car to remotely control the door, or if pressing the remote several times does not respond, it also means that the remote is out of power and you should consider replacing the battery.
I often drive GAC cars, and when the keybatt light on the key fob flashes, it usually means the battery is running low. The CR2032 coin battery needs to be replaced once it's drained. You can simply buy a new battery from the supermarket, pry open the back cover of the key, and replace it—it's very straightforward. If the light keeps flashing after replacement, it's likely that the key is damaged or there's an issue with the car's receiver, which can happen if the key has been dropped or exposed to water. I experienced this last year—the light flashed for a few days, and I ignored it, only to find the car wouldn't start, delaying my work. It's best to keep a spare battery in the car and periodically check its lifespan, as it typically lasts one to two years. Also, avoid parking near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, like high-voltage towers, as this can cause false flashes. Keeping the key dry is most important.
