Technical Background
There is no specification for testing the open circuit voltage of key batteries. Open circuit voltage testing using a voltmeter will result in misdiagnosis of the actual key battery condition. Remote keys are designed to function normally with voltage less than that of a new battery.
The following methods are recommended to make a correct diagnosis of the key battery.
Service
1. Perform Key Battery Test Plan (if Available)
- This is only possible on certain MQB models beginning with model year 2018.
- Check for a Technical Bulletin, and use the GFF Test Plan if available.
- The test plan is titled “Remote Control Battery Check” in ODIS.
2. Check LED Indicator on the Key
- Watch the LED indicator on the key while pressing a button.
- As long as the LED illuminates, the key will operate within the normal range.
- If the LED does not illuminate when pressing a button the battery should be replaced.
3. Check for MFI Message
- With the ignition on, push any button on the key and watch for a message in the MFI.
- The battery condition is transmitted from the key to the BCM.
- If an MFI message indicates the key battery is low, it should be replaced.
4. Measure Battery Voltage – Using a 320 Ω Load
- It is necessary to measure the voltage with a load to simulate operating conditions.
- Resistor decade box VAS 6345 may be used to dial-in 320 Ω.
- Connect the resistance of 320 Ω in parallel with a digital voltmeter.
- Measure the voltage across the coin battery after 6 seconds. If under 2.6 Volts the battery should be replaced.
5. Check DTCs and Measuring Values for Remote Key (MQB Vehicles Only)
- MQB vehicles will store a DTC in the BCM if a key detects a low battery condition.
- The DTC will indicate which remote number reported the low battery condition.
- Use measuring values to determine the current remote number and battery condition.
- AW 09 > Guided Functions > Measuring Values > “Vehicle key with remote control”
- As a button is pressed, check if the current remote number matches with the DTC.
- As a button is pressed, if the battery condition is “low” or “Not OK” it should be replaced.
6. Test Battery using a ZTS MBT-1 “Multi-Battery Tester”
- This tester is commercially available in the United States.
- The result of the pulse-test is displayed as a remaining percentage of battery charge.
- If the indication is less than 60% on the ZTS tester, the battery should be replaced.
