Warning Key System Fault

Hi there,

My 2016 Nissan Pulsar Tekna is constantly displaying a warning with alert for a Key System Fault.

I have taken to a NISSAN dealership who ran diagnostics and ultimately just replaced the key fob batteries which hasn't removed the constant warning.

Both sets of keys appear to be working as they should. Any advice why this is occurring and what it mean?

Thanks!
Alex

P.s. this can happen if you carry both keys together.

my keys do not work
I have taken the car to the Nissan dealer and they are saying they will only replace 1 key

Both keys are faulty
The engine cannot read the key

I do not keep the keys together

Sometimes the batteries that are swapped in at dealers may not be the best. Its simple enough to DIY it. I bought some Duracell ones of ebay with long expiry dates, swapped them myself and problem solved.

The other thing that can cause this issue is a fault car battery especially if it appears straight after start-up. Modern cars are very fussy over the voltages, and during startup a depleted or faulty battery can result in low voltages which often results in the car throwing all sort of weird and wonderful faults. When my Fiamm battery, the first indication was the dash going dark during engine turn over. The engine turn over was lethargic and sometimes resulted in the MIL turning on due to what it thought was a miss fire.

However, I would first try and swap both remote batteries myself, and if that does not work, start looking at the car battery voltage at rest (after a few hours of not running), and if you can, during engine cranking.
