One symptom would be the car would not start and a theft light would be on. A place that makes duplicate keys with chips might be able to test the key for you. Otherwise you would have to have the car scanned with a professional scan tool that can read all the computers. Not a diyer scan tool.

You are welcome. I wish there was a way around needing a professional scan tool could have bought a nice TV instead. Lol.

The key does not have a battery in it, is the security light flashing?

Best, Ken
