So one of my keys is giving me problems. When i use the spare key i am getting intermittent messages about the engine being immobilized and to consult the owners manual. So i thought, ok 10 year old battery, i'll change both keys battery. put new Energized batteries in both fobs along with dieelectric grease for good contact.
My main key is still operating 100% but the spare is still giving me that message about the engine being immobilized please consult owners manual.
Anyone struck this problem before?

Are they both the original keys ? I do know that if you get a spare key cut you have to take all your other keys with you when you get it done so they can all be reprogramed. Its a safety feature incase you misplace one and someone finds it ,it can't be used to pinch your car.

Sounds like a FOB problem. Maybe the chip needs replacing and reprogramming.
