How to Know You Need a New Nissan Key Fob Battery

If you’re unsure of whether you need a new Nissan key fob battery, there are plenty of telltale signs that you can look out for to check. Here are some warning signs that you can use to determine if you need a new Nissan key fob battery: 

• Reduced Signal Strength. Most Nissan key fobs can send signals to your Nissan from up to 50 ft away. Over time, the strength and signal range of your Nissan key fob will wear down as the battery wears down. 
• Repeatedly Pushing Buttons. If you find yourself having to repeatedly push buttons just to unlock and lock your Nissan vehicle’s doors, then this is another sign that you need a new Nissan key fob battery. 

If you notice any other signs of having a weak key fob battery, schedule service with Suntrup Nissan to have them take a look and see if it needs to be replaced.
