Seat OBD Code Reader kit that will provide you with a specific fault description Dead Coin Battery A dead coin battery is among the most common reasons for the keys for the seat to cease to function The key fob contains a small button cell battery that is able to keep it powered Replace it with a new battery that has the exact size voltage and specifications as the original If you are replacing the battery be sure to remove all metal clips from the back of the key fob Also make sure the contacts are free of corrosion If the key fob has been exposed to water such as soapy or rain it is

signals sent by your remote key fob and convert them into electrical signals which are then processed by other modules in your car If the receiver module has developed a fault that prevents it from responding to any of the commands sent by your remote key fob In this situation it is necessary for a dealer to reprogramme your key fob and install an entirely new receiver The key fob is covered

rub it or electronic cleaner but if your key fob still doesnt work after doing this then youll need to purchase a new one If the keys are paired but the receiver module isnt working You can try to restart all of the electronics on board by disconnecting the 12volt battery for a couple of minutes Connect the battery in reverse negative cable to positive first This will reset the onboard electronic circuits and restore their functionality Faulty electronic chip The key fob houses tiny electronic chips that transmits a signal to the receiver module whenever the key is used If this signal does not coincide with the one stored by the car the immobilizer is able to shut off the engine and prevent the vehicle from beginning If however the key fob isnt functioning and you cant reprogram it then it could be due a damaged chip The chip in the key fob isnt an irreplaceable part of the device and could need to be replaced to make it work again The most effective method for doing this is to remove the key from its housing and using a pin needle to contact each of the retaining clips made of steel If these clips are damaged or damaged youll require replacement to allow the remote control to work Make sure that the replacement batteries are of the same voltage size and specifications as the original one The Seat Alhambra is a welldesigned and popular model but like
