I had a strange issue with my smart key on my SC SEL. The SC smart key wouldn't unlock the vehicle via the unlock button or proximity. I get the flashing red confirmation light on the remote, but couldn't unlock the door.
I pulled out the emergency key out of the remote but for some reason couldn't insert it. I thought the manual said there was a plug on the key hole. The item in the hole pushed in but couldn't be removed.
I ended up opening the SC via the Bluelink phone app. When the start button was pressed, the SC said key not found. Used the end of the smart key to press the start button as noted in the manual and it started fine.
I went to get gas and SC recognized the smart key fine and started. When I got home I tested the smart key and it worked normally to lock and unlock the doors. Bluelink said smart key battery is fine. I am baffled.
