Replacing the battery requires no special programming.
However
So long as you have at least two (2) programmed
keys (up to eight are supported) you are able to add
additional keys or REPROGRAM your RKE fobs
(remote keyless entry fobs) ... YOURSELF.
You are going to have to use the Key fob or remote alarm fob to go threw a set of lock and unlock procedure. Crank the car shut it off remove the key outside the vehicle at a distance of at least 30ft then lock the car, wait till it arms and the dash light blinks once this is active you want to unlock the car with the remote. If this one does not work do the same thing except when you unlock it do so with the key to re open after arming security.Also make sure you have both fobs or all remote fobs with you when you do this lock with one unlock with the other then vise, versa ok if you need any further help just ask also make sure your battery is fully charged and the terminals are clean this will affect a security system bad a low battery or low battery in the FOB's.
Put key in ignition.
Press unlock button on key fob.
Immobilizer should now recognize it, if it was original fob but car or fob battery was changed or is now low.
Saabs are particular about batteries that are otherwise good, but just below 12 volts.
This model year comes equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, which uses an electronic transmitter in the key fob to communicate with the car. The vehicle's doors will not unlock and the vehicle will not start if the key fob is not matched to the vehicle or if the commonly-available watch battery in the key fob has been depleted. The EVIC will flash a message upon vehicle startup if it determines that the battery in your key fob is low on charge and should be replaced.
To open the doors, try the following:
1. Use the spare key fob that came with the vehicle. If the battery in your main key fob is depleted, the spare key fob's battery may still retain charge due to its much more occasional use.
2. The key fob comes with an emergency key inside of it. To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch on the back of the key fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand. This key will allow you to unlock the driver's side door and glove compartment. It will not start the vehicle.
To start the car with a severely-depleted key fob battery, try the following:
1. In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the RKE transmitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this situation a back-up method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the Key Fob against the ENGINE START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition switch.
To replace the battery in your key fob, try the following:
1. Remove the emergency key from the key fob following the directions above.
2. Using a vinyl spudger tool or a flat-bladed screwdriver, gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart at the indented slot above the slot for the emergency key.
3. Replace the depleted battery with a new battery. Use the depleted battery to visually match the size. The battery is usually available wherever watch or hearing-aid batteries are sold.
4. Snap the key fob back together and replace the emergency key. If the issue is a depleted battery, your key fob should operate normally.
If the issue is not related to the state of the battery, you will probably need to contact your local dealer for service.
The push button devise you use to lock and unlock the doors is your Key fob. It has battery's to make it work, they are inside the fob. Think of it as a TV remote, they use battery's to send the signal to the Tv. Same for your Key Fob uses battery's to send a signal to the car to lock / unlock the doors.
You do not change the battery as it is re-chargeable. It is charged in the key fob unit while it is in the car's ignition and while you are driving the vehicle.
If you have a spare key that has low battery power then it needs to be used in the vehicle to charge the battery.
If you have been using the key fob and it has suddenly failed this is probably due to a faulty circuit board. You will need to replace the key fob with a new one from the dealer. It needs to be programmed for your car by the dealer.
Always have a spare key for this vehicle and keep the battery charged by using it occasionally.
hi, this message is warning you that the battery in the key fob is going flat if this battery goes totally flat you wont be able to start your car as its this signal from the key fob that turns the imobiliser off so with out this fob your car wont start so its best you get the battery changed sooner rather than later.
Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok
Take your fob and hold it directly against the dash beside the start button for about ten seconds. Watch to see if the green light comes on. Then try the button. If it fails try your spare key same way. You likely have a low battery in the fob.
