Default Key Fob reset after battery replacement

Hello all.

I just put a new battery into the key and I'm not getting any response from it at all. I can start the car if i put the key against the sensor to pair but cannot lock or unlock without turning the key.

I know there was a reset procedure for the older cars but cant seem to find one for the cars with push to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Sounds like your key is not doing any radio transmissions. Possible issues could be defective board in key housing or the battery you put in is defective.

Is your second key working?

Is the battery polarity correct? The engraved side should be facing down. The red LED at the "Lock" button end should flash once when the battery tray is inserted and should flash quickly when the buttons are pushed
