For the past 2 days, the buttons on the key fob for my '15 Altima have stopped working.
However, the proximity portion still works fine. I can walk up to the car, push the button on the outside door handle and enter the vehicle. I can also use the push button start.
It's just the fobs exterior buttons(all of them) do not function at all, only on this one fob. The other(2nd) key fob works fine under all conditions including Remote Engine Start.
I did install a new battery in hopes that it was just weak but, this is not the case.
Have I lost the button portion of communication?
Can it be reprogrammed?
Do I need a new fob?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
The Fob must have lost partial communication(I've never heard of losing partial communication). A thought occurred to me.
I held the key fob to the push button/start button for several seconds and now, everything works. I haven't tried the RES yet but, I will later today when I leave the house.
I didn't know how long to hold the fob in front of the PBS but, I held it there for ~5 seconds. Should this happen to others, that is what I did when just minutes before, the fob(buttons only) didn't work.
Thanks,
