Anyone else have this problem. When I get out of my car, and I DON'T lock the vehicle, I see the message flash on the instrument console screen that says "Chip Card Not Recognized".

This msg. will blink on and off and keep the instrument cluster lights on forever. Until the battery dies I would assume or I lock the vehicle.

The weird thing is that starting and locking the vehicle via Keyless Go works fine.

It is only when I turn the vehicle off and leave without locking the doors. (Like when the vehicle is in my garage).

This problem may be as simple as the card going bad. Seems with my 2nd card this problem does not occur. I guess I will have service look into this when I take my car in next month for the FSS service.

I had a problem with my 03CL55 recognizing the card early on. The dealer checked and found that the battery in it was low. After battery replacement it has been fine.

Seems my problem was fixed by using the smartkey to start and stop the car. After that the keyless go has been working fine.

I did check the batteries however before someone recommended the Smart Key initialization.
