Key fobs may stop working for several reasons, including an empty coin battery, worn buttons water damage, signal interference and a faulty receiver module. Here are some guidelines on how to get your Kia Sportage replacement key to function again.

How do you replace the remote key or the smart key?

The battery inside your Kia's smart key will eventually have to be replaced, whether it's a remote key as well as a push-to start key or a normal metal key that doesn't contain transponder. This is especially true if your car displays a message indicating that the smart or remote keys have low battery power.

Luckily, this is quite simple to do. To replace the battery on the keyfob, remove your mechanical key from the slot at the back of the fob. Then, you need to pry the cover off. Inside the key fob will be tiny screws that hold the battery in its place. Remove the old battery by unscrewing the screw with a small screwdriver. Insert the new battery and then close the gap on the key fob.

When the key fob is equipped with a fresh battery Test it by pressing the locks and unlock buttons. You're good to go If the doors lock and unlock as you expect. You can now use the hands-free feature to lock and unlock your kia replacement key fob (supplemental resources) whenever your fingers start to get cold or you have to run errands around Brandon.

Note: Some key fobs (transponder chip or smart keys) may need to have their programming done. This requires a programing machine that is available only to the locksmith for cars or dealer. Other keys (non-transponder metal keys) do not require programming. If your key needs to be programmed, you will need to be aware of the key code that is stamped on the tag that identifies the key and keep it in a safe place.

How to replace the battery

If your Kia key fob isn't responding to pressing the lock or unlock button on the fob, this is a good indicator that the battery needs to be replaced. A battery that is not functioning properly can cause other issues, like the check engine light appearing or the engine not working correctly. Fortunately, replacing the key fob battery is a relatively simple DIY task that requires only a few basic tools.

Avoid using too much force when pushing the new CR2032 into position to avoid damage or bending the metal contacts.

Once the new battery is installed, turn the key fob off and then turn it on in the ignition until the door locks. Then you can test your Kia key fob and see if it is working properly again.

How do you replace the smart key?

There is a possibility of having a standard keyfob or a Smart Key based upon the model of Kia Sportage. The difference between the two is that the smart fob has a small mechanical key blade tucked inside it, while the standard fob doesn't. Both key fobs contain batteries that will eventually need to be changed. Fortunately, this is an easy process that takes just two minutes.

Before you begin, you will want to ensure that you are on a flat surface with adequate lighting and that your kia car key replacement is not on. Remember that the fob contains tiny parts that could fall when you're not careful.

The small release button is located on the lower backside. It could be a circular or rectangular slot. You can open the key fob by pressing the button.

Once you have the key fob opened and you are able to take out the old battery and replace it. The new battery is a CR-2032 that can be purchased online or at a local auto parts store. Once you're done, your key fob should allow you to lock the vehicle, unlock it, and then start your vehicle, even if it isn't running.

How do I replace a mechanical key

The Kia keyfob is a great convenience that allows us to lock or unlock our car by pressing a button. Like any other device, it can have problems from time to time. Luckily, there are methods to resolve these issues and ensure that our key fobs are in good working condition over the long haul.

A dead or weak battery is one of the most common problems. This could cause the fob to stop working completely or to work intermittently. If this is the problem it is time to replace the battery an entirely new battery.

If this isn't enough to resolve the issue Try using a standard flathead screwdriver to open the casing of the fob's plastic. Be careful not to harm any internal components or scratch the plastic. After opening, carefully remove the battery that was removed and replace it with a brand new one.

After the new battery has been put in, shut and open the doors using the mechanical key (every Kia fob has an emergency mechanical key that can fit into the slot). Test the key fob to verify that it's working properly. If the fob still isn't functioning, contact a dealer or locksmith to help solve the issue. Make sure they make you an emergency key that functions in all the trunk and door cylinders in order to avoid lockouts again.
