Perhaps try another battery and see how it goes.

I experienced this before. Consulted Service Advisor and he said to plug the keyfob into the ignition holder occasionally to let keyfob battery charge. I did as told but still couldn't resolve the problem, very frustrating as still got to change the battery every month.
I change to the spare(second) keyfob and no such problem thereafter.

Digging up an old thread...
Anyone has a solution to this? Is it the sensor?
Anyway adding some info from googling:
- Key Fob with Comfort Access (CA) runs on non-rechargeable battery (CR2032)
- Rationale is probably to totally eliminate the need to take out the key and plug into the car
- CA equipped cars do not have the ability to charge the key, regardless of whether the key can be charged (I did not verify this with any technical pple)

Happens once in a while when my pockets are full of other stuff .... once fob is out of my pocket warning goes off.

so i conclude that there are some voltage/electrical problems with one of the keys... last resort is to go back to PML => probably ask me to replace it...
how long did you drive? i tried 45min - 1hr but still no good...aproo;993844 said:
