Is the PCM supposed to warn you when the drivers key battery is low? Just had an issue with locking and unlocking the car, managed to get it to lock by placing the key near the shaded area adjacent to mirror on front screen.
Guess it is a battery problem.
Unfortunately presently in high Spanish Pyrenees some way from a shop which is likely to stock a CR 2032 battery!
(note to self- in future before road trips replace both key and tracker fob batteries before departure). Don’t there’s things always happen in the most inconvenient places.
I recently replaced the tracker fob battery after a message came up on PCM but nothing has come up about the key battery.
Hopefully will hold out until we are nearer to a large town. Tried to use the emergency key to unlock but did not seem easy and had not read manual. Just read ‘,good to know‘but still none the wiser.
I suppose I could swap the battery out of the tracker fob into the key ( are they the same battery?)but could also give an issue with tracker dependent on signal strength it requires?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
