What causes the low-key battery warning light to come on? What does the low-key battery warning light signify?
Over the last decade, the automotive industry has experienced tremendous growth. There have been many changes made to the systems and components of the latest cars. One of the most important changes is the use of computer system keyless remote control (or smart keys) in new vehicles. This makes it easy to start, stop, lock, and unlock your car. Some cars only require that you have the key with you in order to unlock the doors. This is where the driver’s responsibility. You may find yourself stuck if your key battery dies.
What Is a Low Key Battery Warning Light?
Modern cars equipped with smart keys and electronic configurations have an alarm system that keeps track of the battery’s status. The warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates that the battery is nearly empty. The on-board computer monitors power (voltage output) of the keyless remote controller battery and, when it drops below a specific level, the warning lamp is activated on the instrument cluster.
The majority of keys’ batteries can be changed by you. This does not require you to visit a specialist service. Look at the owner’s manual, or look online to determine the type of battery that you need, and then keep it in your glove box as a spare. Smart keys typically use a CR2032/3-volt coin cell battery. It is crucial to choose the right type of battery. You may experience a voltage change and your vehicle might not start if you use a different type of battery. Some vehicles may require a reset to get the light out after replacing the battery.
You can drive your vehicle even if the low-key battery warning light is lit. You will be unable to start your vehicle if the battery is not replaced in the correct time. You must replace the batteries immediately.
