S90 keyless access issues

Hi, I've got a 2023 Volvo S90 diesel with about 85k km on the clock. Recently, I've been getting a 'key battery low' warning. Now the keyless access is totally dead, and there's an error stored. Locking and unlocking is also playing up. I'm guessing it's just the key fob battery that's flat?

Hey! I had something similar with my S90. When you say 'playing up,' what exactly do you mean? Mine started with the range getting really bad, like I had to be right next to the door handle for it to work. Then it got super intermittent, working one day and not the next. Did you also experience that?

Yeah, that sounds pretty familiar! The range went down first. I thought I was imagining it, but now you mention it... How did you fix it? Is it something I can do myself, or should I just book it in somewhere?

Okay, sounds like the same thing. For me, it totally went dead in the end. Honestly, just get the battery replaced. It's probably just a dead key fob battery. You could probably do it yourself if you're handy, but I just took it to the workshop to get it sorted out. Better safe than sorry when it comes to car electrics, especially with these modern Volvos!

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – it was just the key fob battery. Cost me 37€ to get it replaced. All sorted now!
