My particular model year (1998) requires a trip to the dealer to pair new fobs or keys with the car. First-generation PATS wasn't that great. Try this: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...4174802AAFkfTX >I have previously replaced the battery in the fob. It didn't require any special procedure, it just worked. I don't know how that system works, but in general, a battery that stays dead for an extended period can let a device lose its memory, and sometimes things just happen. I think that if either the fob or the module had its memory erased or corrupted, you would have to reprogram. If the method in that link works, it's a cheap fix. Even new fobs appear to be pretty cheap, and worth a try. |
