It's probably the antenna driver circuitry that's bad and not the antenna itself. All Nissan dealers have at least one "required" special tool for checking whether a fob transmits or not, so I'm sure they simply put yours on the Tech-II or the fob checker and found it wasn't transmitting. The "emergency start" circuit using the button is a completely different function that uses RFID and will work even with the fob battery removed, so a blown transmitter won't prevent that from working.
fob stopped working after battery replacement
Hi
I replaced batteries on both intelligence key fobs. due to both reported low battery.
one of the fobs doesnt lock or unlock the car anymore however if i put the fob close to the start button the engine will turn on
I tried replacing the battery again with a second new one still same issue.
I took the car and keys to the dealership they said they tried reprogramming it but they noticed the antenna on the key is faulty.
I took both keys apart and i dont see any missing or any physical damage to any components. i did a simple continuity&resistance on the bigger components and compared working and nonworking fobs and they are identical. no components are loose either when i push on them.
any ideas which area to look at if the dealership are telling the truth that the "antenna" is faulty.
