How to Fix Rolls Royce Dawn Key Fob Problems

There are very few automobiles that can generate the kind of gasp that the rolls-royce keys Dawn does. Even with the roof made of cloth down, it's still an impressive car.

It comes with all the standard gadgets and features, including motorised doors that can be closed with the touch of the button. Umbrellas are concealed within the openings of the doors. It also has a silky smooth V12 engine that is driven in near silence.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery for a coin is the most common reason of a key fob not locking or unlocking the doors. It is also among the easiest to fix as it is usually replaced in just a few minutes. To avoid the possibility of a defective coin battery, ensure that you make sure you use a new battery that is the same voltage, size and specifications as the first one. Don't expose a battery to clean water, like rain, clean tap water or even soda, since this could damage the internal chip. If the key fob still isn't working try reprogramming the key using the original key or visit an authorized dealer.

Other reasons why the key fob might not be working are Water Damage, Receiver Module issues, Signal Interference and a bad electronic chip.

Poor Battery Contact

The button cell battery inside the key fob of your Rolls Royce Dawn can lose its charge and stop functioning. It is simple to replace the battery. But, ensure that you only replace it with a brand new battery with the same voltage and size. Contact the auto parts store if you are not sure which type to buy.

The corrosion of the terminals of the battery in the battery terminals of a Rolls Royce Dawn may also hinder it from being able to start. This problem is common with older batteries, particularly in the event that they haven't been fully charged for a long amount of time. You can use a multimeter for assessing the conductivity of your battery to determine if the terminals on your battery have rust. Set the meter at ohms, and place one probe against the negative terminal of your Dawn. Then, connect the second probe to a bare metal part of the chassis or engine. The reading should be near zero ohms.

Another symptom of a weak battery in your Dawn is the sound that you hear when you attempt to start the engine. This is due to the fact that the starter solenoid as well as other components require high electric current, while the engine requires low current to work - this means that the battery is unable to supply enough charge.

Water Damage

Water damage is likely to be a result of dropping your Rolls Royce Dawn Key Fob in the sink or leave it in the rain. The electronic chip is protected by rubber seals but prolonged exposure to clean ocean or salty water could cause it to cease functioning.

Moisture can cause corrosion over time, leading to malfunctioning circuits which could cause problems with the ignition and security system of your vehicle. It also can interfere with the transmission of signals, which can lead to the failure of remote keyless systems. The key fob can even lock your car or activate the immobiliser, leaving you stuck.

To avoid this, remove the key fob from its case and wipe it clean with a a damp towel to remove any moisture. You can also put the key in a bag with uncooked silica gel or rice to absorb any moisture. After drying, the key should work normally again. If the key does not function, it is possible that the 12 volt batteries or the receiver modules are at fault. They must be changed.

Issues with Receiver Modules

If you have tried a new cell and the remote keyfob is still not work, then it might be time to replace the receiver module. This component receives radio frequency signals from your key fob and converts them into commands for the car's electronic system. If the chip in the module is damaged it will not be able communicate with the other modules of the vehicle. To diagnose the problem you'll require an OBD scanner that can show you what the on-board computer is telling it to do.

The clips made of metal that hold the battery in the key fob that you use for your Dawn complete the circuit and hold it in position. The clips may corrode and cause the battery contacts to become ineffective. If you are replacing the battery, ensure that it's the exact size and voltage to the previous one. Otherwise it could damage the chip inside the key fob.

Water damage may be the cause for the key fob suddenly stopped working. The key fob may be damaged by water if it is dropped into water or soaked in soapy water. You can try to clean the key fob by using isopropyl alcohol or other electronic cleaners, but if the chip inside the key fob is damaged, you'll need to replace it.

Signal Interference

Occasionally, your Dawn key fob might cease to function due to signal interference. Interference can be caused by objects in the vicinity of your car, weather conditions, and transmitters using the same frequency band. A defective receiver module can also cause interference. If you're unable to cut down on interference, you might want to try using a range extender or signal booster.

It is crucial to replace the button cell battery in your Dawn key fob if it's depleted. The battery should have the same voltage, size and type as the original battery to ensure your vehicle remains compatible with the key fob. If your key fob has stopped working, the chip may be damaged.

If you've tried the above suggestions but still aren't able to get your key to unlock or lock, it's likely time to call an experienced locksmith. A reputable locksmith will be able help you with any Rolls Royce key fob or key programming needs, including reprogramming and replacement. They will be able to give you an estimate of the work to be done. Make sure you ask the locksmith about their fees and credentials before hiring them.

Dead 12 Volt Batterie

The 12 volt battery in your Rolls Royce Dawn is responsible for providing high electric current not only to start the engine, but also to supply power to all accessories as well as on-board computers. If the battery is in a dead state, or the current flow to the engine is disrupted due to corrosion of the battery's terminals, or the ground connection, all electronic components on board including the remote keyless system will stop functioning.

To check the condition of your Dawn battery it is possible to conduct an electrical conductivity test using a multimeter. To accomplish this, disconnect the negative cable from the battery and then apply one probe of the multimeter to the ground wire of the battery and the other probe to any exposed metal component of your vehicle's engine, body or chassis. The reading should be zero ohms or close to it.

If the results were not satisfactory, replace the battery by an alternative battery that has the same voltage, size and specification. Make sure that the new battery is fully charged before you use it. The most common cause of a faulty battery is internal degradation due to the aging process. However, it could also occur as a result an unnatural draw or if your car has been parked for a long time.
