I just changed the battery in my fob for 2011 Journey Crew, with the battery removed ( from fob ) I did start my car by pushing the start button whith my fob... so the theory is tested and true.... also the battery you'll need is CR2032 available everywhere... and removing the battery will NOT remove the programming of your fob ( also tested )... so no need to visit the "steelership" Hope this helps....
To start the Journey when the key fob battery is dead, use the fob itself by pushing the start button with the end of the fob opposite the emergency key. There is apparently some kind of proximity chip in the fob that, upon contact, will allow the vehicle to recognize the correct fob is present, even with a dead battery.
I asked the dealer this question and he said you can't start the car with the key. It is only to get in the car in the event of an emergency that the key fob isn't working. The key also locks and unlocks the glove compartment.
If
the remote s faulty then key fob will not get programmed.
Insert
the key in ignition. Turn the key to on position, and cycle the key three times
off-on-off-on-off-on. Then with the key fob remote select your remote and then
try to operate the vehicle with remote.
These
are just the basic procedure, but sometimes it will not help.
On
that case dealer is the only option.
