What to Do When the Car Remote Control Fails to Unlock?

Solutions for when the car remote control fails to unlock: 1. The car battery is low on power or the key fob battery is dead, requiring the use of the spare mechanical key to open the door; 2. First, check if the indicator light on the remote flashes when attempting to unlock. If it doesn't flash, the issue lies with the remote itself. If it flashes but the car's central locking system doesn't respond, troubleshoot the central locking system's unlocking circuit; 3. Use the key to lock the driver's door and observe if other locks engage. Remove the front driver's door panel to inspect if the electromagnetic lock is correctly positioned and check for any issues with the metal linkage inside the door. The basic principle of a remote key involves emitting a weak radio wave from the key, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action. This system mainly consists of a transmitter and a receiver.
