Everest Key Battery Low Warning

Thanks for the quick response! Just to be sure, did your error memory also show a fault related to the key? I'm trying to avoid unnecessary repairs, but the error memory also lists a fault related to the power door lock module. Did the battery replacement fix it completely, or did you end up needing further work?

Yes, I did see an error related to the key fob. From what you're describing, it sounds like the same problem. I'd strongly suggest starting with the battery replacement in the key fob, as it's the simplest and cheapest fix. If that doesn't resolve the issue entirely, then investigating the power door lock module would be the next logical step. However, in my case, a new battery did the trick, but I remember that the workshop charged me 37€ for it! Outrageous!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the advice and confirmation that it's likely the battery. I'll start there and hope for the best! I'll post again when I have replaced the battery.

I had something similar happen with my Everest. Keyless entry became intermittent, then stopped altogether. The range for remote locking/unlocking also diminished. Sounds like your key fob battery is the most likely suspect. Have you tried swapping the battery?
