When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails

Smart Key is a convenient feature that allows you lock and unlock your Lexus IS 2021, open the trunk, and then start it, without ever having to remove it from your pocket. However, there comes a time when the battery on the key fob expires.

Luckily, you can swap the battery yourself with just the flathead screwdriver along with a lithium battery of the CR2032 type (available in most electronics stores and hardware stores). Find out how to do it here!

Keyless Entry

Your Lexus key fob has components that communicate with sensors in your vehicle. This lets you lock and unlock your doors, open the trunk, and start the push-button ignition. This is a fantastic convenience that makes driving with a Lexus so much more fun than driving a traditional car. The key fob may eventually require an upgrade in battery to work properly.

The good news is that you can prolong the life of the battery on your key fob by keeping it at a minimum of three feet away from electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields, including TVs, cell phones, batteries, induction cookers, battery chargers, and table lamps. The closer your keyfob is to these appliances, the more power they'll consume.

The other way to ensure that your key fob lasts for a long time is to use it only for the functions that you need. You can also save battery life by reducing the long you hold the buttons. To do this, press the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously. The electronic key indicator will flash four times to indicate your key fob has entered the battery-saving mode. When the lights cease to flash, you can press any button on your key fob to make it work again.

Immobilizer System

When you put your key in the ignition, it transmits an ID code to a device inside the car. The computer will allow the engine to start when the ID code is identical to a previous one stored in the car. If the ID code does not match, an immobilizer will be activated, which stops the car from getting started.

This technology is effective even if your keys get stolen, but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack" or alter an anti-theft radiowave system. The thief could use an aerial antenna and spoof the signal to inform the car the key is in the ignition.

To circumvent this, experts are working on safer systems. Some offer WiFi connectivity with undetectable installation as well as pin code entry through buttons on the dashboard. To help buyers select the most reliable security features, Thatcham Research offers a grading and approval system to help you compare the various products.

If you're concerned about the anti-theft feature of your car the easiest thing to do is to replace the battery if it's old. A quick glance through the owner's manual can provide you with the correct replacement. Fuses are a different cause therefore they should be checked frequently. If one of them blows, a replacement can be easily located at an auto parts store.

Key Blade

Your lexus replacement key key comes with a metal emergency key blade that can open the lock cylinders on your vehicle's doors as well as the ignition. The key fob is also equipped with hardware that connects to your car's Smart Access system and push-button start. While your key fob is designed to last for a lengthy time, daily use and exposure to elements of the weather could cause it to fail earlier than you think. To help prevent this we recommend that you store your key fob away from your vehicle as far as you can, to stop the frequency of its proximity sensors connecting and using up battery power.
