Remote Key Locks the Car but Will Not Unlock It

When one remote function works and another does not, record the exact difference. Test results already obtained with a second authorised key are particularly useful: the same failure with both keys raises different questions from a fault isolated to one key.

Separate remote control from starting

State whether the car starts normally and whether the interior locking switch works. Remote locking and start authorisation should not be treated as one undivided symptom. Include any key battery replacement, physical key damage or recent vehicle battery work.

Avoid unnecessary programming attempts

Do not repeatedly erase or relearn keys using an unverified procedure. Preserve the working key and the vehicle’s original state. The appropriate assessment may concern a button or transmitter, the receiver, configuration or the vehicle’s locking system; the symptom alone does not select one.

Contact AXION with the make, model, year and number of available authorised keys. Ownership checks and compatibility confirmation are required for supported key work. Keep key codes and security information out of public comments. Explain any access difficulty so the workshop can discuss the safest practical appointment arrangements.
