Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work
The Qashqai has a distinct SUV feel to it thanks to its larger dimensions. Moreover, the 19-inch wheels on Ti and ST-L models may be firm at times. The front tyres may lose grip on rough surfaces and its CVT can occasionally display wrist-flexing torque steer.
This is generally caused by an inoperable coin battery, which can be easily repaired in a matter of minutes. Make sure that the new battery is of the same size, voltage and specifications.
Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most frequent causes for an Nissan keyfob to display the "key ID is incorrect" message. The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the electronic chip, but prolonged moisture exposure can cause it not to work properly. It's typical to observe this if your key fob was dropped in the water or in a swimming pool. However, it can occur when it becomes wet due to the rain or soapy hands.
If your key fob has been exposed to water for the course of a long time then you might need to clean it with isopropyl, or an electronic cleaner. In addition, it may need to be taken to a professional to repair or replace it.
If your key fob require replacement the process is simple. Make sure you have the correct multipack (CR2032, 3V). Open the front and rear cases with a flathead screwdriver. It is necessary to remove the retaining clips made of metal and push out the old battery and put in the new one. Reassemble the fob and replace the mechanical key. Verify that it is working properly. If it doesn't it is necessary to take it to your local Nissan dealer or an experienced locksmith to replace the chip on the key. Fortunately the chip isn't normally damaged by exposure to water and this shouldn't be a major expense.
Dead Coin Battery
The coin battery is another common reason that your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob may not work. The batteries last for about 3 to 5 years, but they will eventually fail when the fob is frequently dropped. You could try replacing the battery with a new one but be sure it's the same voltage and size as the original. If you use a new battery, it could cause the key to be assigned a different key ID. This could prevent it from being paired with your vehicle.
The most effective method to replace the battery on a Nissan Qashqai key fob is by opening the key fob using a small flat head screwdriver. The screwdriver should be inserted into a small notch at the bottom of the key fob. Gently twist the screwdriver to divide the two halves. Then, remove the old CR2025 button cell battery and insert a new one after noting its position on the fob.
Before putting the new battery into place, make sure there isn't any dirt or water damage on the terminals. If so, clean the terminals using some isopropyl ethanol. Make sure that the pole cables are properly connected. They must be connected to the negative and the positive poles of your battery.

If your Nissan Qashqai key fob stops working after exposure to clean tap water or rain it could be a sign of a chip issue inside. Change the battery won't fix this issue, and you'll have to buy the new key fob. If you dropped the key fob on the ground and it stopped working instantly it's most likely due to the damage to the internal chip. If you clean the chip using isopropyl alcohol and paper towel, then replace it in the key fob, you can generally get it back to working.
Key ID Incorrect is a common error that can be seen on the dashboard of your vehicle. This means that the car is unable to recognize the key fob and will not allow it to start the engine. The problem can be caused by many things such as water damage, undetectable faults in the circuitry of the key fob, or RFID interference.
The key fob will not function in the event that the batteries with 12 volts are dead or don't provide enough electric current. This can affect your Nissan Qashqai's remote keyless system central locking, as well as the capability to start the engine with the key fob. If you can't lock or unlock the door by hand you must check the batteries inside the key fob to make sure they're in good condition. You can also try re-inserting the battery to reset the transmitter.
Reprogramming
If the key fob has not been submerged in salt water the device should be able to be revived after a simple rinse with clean water. You could also try cleaning the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. If none of the above works it is possible to replace the key fob.
If your Nissan Intelligent Key still does not work, there might be a problem connecting between it and the vehicle. Start by turning the ignition key but not initiating the vehicle. Continue this process until the hazard light flashes two times. After that, turn the car off and remove the keys.

Open the fob compartment in your vehicle's fob compartment. It is usually located on a door jamb or the handle of the door for the driver. Find the small button labeled "program" and press it. Once the process is completed, you should hear an emitted sound.
Now that your Intelligent Key is relinked to the car is the time to test it out. Click all the buttons on the key while standing at a distance from the car. If the lights flash and the horn beeps it means that the key is successfully linked to the Nissan. You can also test it near the Nissan.
