The antenna is responsible for transmitting signals between the key fob and the receiver module. Using an OBDII scanner can assist in diagnosing the problem by revealing what's wrong with the system.

The internal chip inside the key fob may be damaged by dirt or water. If your key has stopped working when it was wet, wash the electronic component with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to reinstalling the battery.
