Dead coin battery One of the most frequent causes of a malfunctioning key fob in Skoda Kodiaq is a dead coin battery. This kind of battery powers the remote keyless entry system as well as the central locking system of your vehicle. It can be replaced in just a few minutes.

You can also clean the chip with electronic cleaner or isopropyl ethanol. You must also dry the key fob before putting it in your pocket. It doesn't matter if you're in the middle of an ice-cream eating session or at a pool party, a key fob that's submerged in water can cause serious damage to its electronics. While key fobs do have rubber seals, prolonged immersion in pool or ocean water can break the seals and cause an electrical short on the electronic chip. If the key fob won't function after cleaning the chip using isopropyl or rubbing alcohol, it is recommended to take it to an electronic repair shop.

A malfunctioning receiver module If your Skoda Kodiaq's remote fob stopped working and you've tried everything, including replacing the battery in the coin and changing the key's programming it could be due to a malfunctioning receiver module. The receiver module is the part that transmits and receives radio frequency signals from the key fob, and then sends the required commands to the central locking system. Connecting a diagnostic instrument, usually located under your dashboard, to the OBDII plug is the initial step in troubleshooting a receiver module. Once you've connected the diagnostic tool, enter all the information regarding your vehicle such as the make, model engine type, VIN and make. Check the behavior of your system after you have plugged into the diagnostic device. If the receiver module has a problem, it is likely to begin to increase its transmitter error counter faster than other nodes in the bus.
