A weak o r dead key fob battery can lead to intermittent o r complete failure of the remote locking function. You might press the button, but the locks won’t respond.
It can also cause delayed locking o r unlocking, making the system seem unresponsive.

Delayed Response: The lock takes longer to respond.
Non-Functioning Buttons: The fob may not work at all when pressing the buttons.

Have you ever had issues with the key fob not locking o r unlocking your Hilux?
