What is the reason for the Nissan Sylphy remote control not responding when pressed?

Nissan Sylphy remote key failure is usually caused by the battery running low. You can split the remote key along the middle seam and replace it with a new battery. If that doesn't work, try re-matching the remote. Since smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, they may not function properly in the presence of magnetic interference. Frequently placing the smart car key and mobile phone together will inevitably cause the smart car key to malfunction. The basic components of a remote key are as follows: 1. Transmitter: Composed of a transmission switch, transmission antenna, integrated circuit, etc., containing an identification code storage circuit and an amplitude modulation circuit, with a button-type lithium battery on the opposite side of the circuit. The transmission frequency uses radio waves, and pressing the transmission switch button once sends a signal. 2. Receiver: After the transmitter sends the identification code using shortwave modulation, it is received by the car's shortwave antenna and enters the shortwave high-frequency amplification processor of the receiver's electronic control unit through a distributor for demodulation, where it is compared with the demodulator's identification code.
When I first drove the Nissan Sylphy, I encountered a situation where the remote didn't respond, which is quite common. The main reason was that the key battery was dead, as the button battery had been used for too long and ran out of power. After replacing it with a new battery, it worked immediately. If it still doesn't work, the key might have been dropped or gotten wet, damaging the circuit board, or there could be strong interference signals around, such as in areas with many wireless devices. I suggest first testing with a spare key. If that works, then the issue is likely with the original key. Don't delay too long—if the car is parked on the street, it's unsafe, so it's best to go to a shop for a full check of the antenna and receiver module to rule out other faults. Usually, take care to protect the key from moisture to reduce similar issues. This is all based on practical experience, and simple handling can avoid bigger troubles.
