Seat Alhambra Key Problems Seat's jumbo MPV range is among the best in its class when it comes down to resales values. And with a new generation model available it's even better. There are many reasons the key fob won't work properly, including an unresponsive coin battery damage to the receiver module or signal interference. This article will guide you through the steps needed to get it working again. Water Damage If your key fob for the seat alhambra survives a wash cycle or dip in the water or a pool, it has a waterproof chip. But, you shouldn't do this often as excessive exposure to water increases the risk of the key fob being damaged. If the key fob ceases to functioning after exposure to clean tap water or rain, just take out the battery, wipe the electronic component with paper towel and let it dry completely before putting the battery back into. If the key fob has been exposed to soapy or salty water, it is recommended that you clean the chip using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. Faulty Receiver Module If you have tried an entirely new battery for your button and the key fob does not lock or unlock, it's likely the receiver module has found a fault. It's a relatively simple and inexpensive fix. You can disconnect the 12 volt battery for a couple of minutes (first remove the negative cable, then press the horn several times) to eliminate any remaining electricity. After seat key transponder programming , you can reconnect it in reverse. positive cable first then negative cable later. ESP Warning Light – If the ESP symbol flashes, this is normal. It indicates that you are driving over terrain with poor traction. This could be due to gravel, snow or surface water. If the ESP warning light continues to be blinking, it indicates that there is a problem within the system. It should be diagnosed using a iCarsoft i908 Seat OBD Code Reader, which will provide a precise fault description. Dead Coin Battery One of the most common reasons for the seat alhambra key to stop functioning is a dead coin battery. The key fob is powered by a tiny button-cell battery. Replace it with a new battery with the same voltage, size and specification as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob, remove the metal clips and make sure that the contacts of the key fob are clean and free of corrosion. If the key fob was exposed to water, such as rain or soapy water it is recommended to take the battery off and clean the electronic chip using isopropyl alcohol or a electronic cleaner prior to installing the new battery. The chip may be permanently damaged by water. If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it could be necessary to replace the entire key fob. Faulty Receiver Module If your key fob has stopped working after you replaced the battery but it didn't help, or it just stopped working suddenly the receiver module might have developed a fault. The receiver module receives the radio frequency signals from your key fob's remote and converts them into electrical commands that are then followed by other modules inside the car. If the receiver module has developed a fault and is unable to respond to any of the commands sent by your remote key fob. In this case, you will have to visit a dealer for reprogramming your key fob and new receiver module. The key fob is encased with rubber to stop water from getting inside the electronic chip. However, if you submerge the key fob in soapy water or salty ocean water, the chip inside could be damaged. You can try cleaning the chip by applying isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, but in the event that your key fob doesn't work after doing this, you'll have to purchase a replacement. If the keys have been linked, but the receiver module isn't working it is possible to restart all the electronics in the board by disconnecting the battery with 12 volts for a few minutes. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This will reset all electronic components on board and restore their functionality. Faulty Electronic Chip The key fob contains tiny electronic chips that sends a signal to the receiver module each time the key is used. If the signal doesn't match the one the car has stored, the immobilizer will disable and prevent the vehicle from starting. If the key fob won't work and you aren't able to reprogram it, this could be due to an issue with the microchip. The chip inside the key fob is not an irreplaceable part of the device and could need to be replaced in order to make it work again. The best method to do this is by removing the key from its housing and then using a pin needle to connect with each of the metal retaining clips. You'll require replacement when they're damaged or damaged or corroded. Make sure that the replacement batteries are of the same voltage, size, and specification as the original.
