Problem overview

Some Nissan Quest owners report experiencing issues with their remote control not detecting the key after a battery replacement, despite the car still starting. This problem often indicates that reprogramming of the key fob is necessary to restore its functionality. Additionally, owners may find that the key fob requires a reset to ensure proper operation, as misalignment of buttons or broken contacts during the battery change can hinder performance. Furthermore, some owners notice that worn-out buttons on the key fob can lead to connectivity issues, even after replacing the battery. Addressing these concerns through reprogramming, resetting, and checking for button wear can help resolve the remote control detection problem.
