Diagnostics of a fault
Fault diagnosis is the process of pinpointing one or more root causes of issues, to the point at which corrective actions can be taken. This is commonly referred to by the term fault isolation and is an essential component of automated systems for operations management. It consists of three steps that include detection, localization and estimation.
Typical methods for fault diagnosis employ simulation to determine potential responses to a test when there are various flaws, and then to store these expected results in databases. When a test experiment is conducted, the actual results are compared with the expected ones. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The process of identifying mistakes is typically iterative and described as a diagnosis tree.

Dead Coin Battery
A dead coin battery is the most common reason for a faulty key fob that isn't able to lock or unlock. The button cell battery within the key fob is secured by retaining clips made of steel. They can loosen and weaken with time. Replace the battery with the new one that is similar in size, voltage, and specification.

A remote car key (also known as a smart key) makes use of a transponder chips inside the head of the key that communicates with the car's immobiliser system and enable it to start once you insert the key into the ignition. These are very popular with customers due to their ease of use and reliability. They are also robust and can easily be dropped, squeezed or toss around, unlike the old flip keys that are now obsolete.
However, it is important to remember that if the key won't start your car, the issue is likely to be to be with the immobiliser system inside the vehicle and not the key.
