Keyless Go Issue

Hi All

Been back to the car for the first time in a few weeks. Keyless go not working now on both my keys, getting “key not recognised” message.

Keyless Go was working successfully last time I was at car.

Both keys currently work apart from that as in I can start the car successfully from both keys via the ignition socket.

Any ideas before I dive in?

Put the car key by the transmission shifter. With a Foxwell NT510 locate the Keyless Go main menu follow this menu path: Active test -> Transmitter card locating and then press F1. Whether or not the test finds the key suggests the next troubleshooting step.
