Mitsubishi Outlander Key Fob Replacement
Mitsubishi vehicles come with many useful features. The signature key fob is just one of them. Unfortunately when the battery inside the key fob is depleted, it can stop working.
Fortunately, changing the battery of the key fob is easy. All you need is an incredibly small screwdriver as well as a new battery to finish the job.
Battery Replacement
Your key fob is what allows you to unlock your Mitsubishi SUV from a distance. However, the battery will eventually go out and you'll need to replace it. Fortunately, you don't have to take your vehicle to a dealer to get it replaced and the procedure is pretty simple.
Take the two halves off your key fob with the small screwdriver to expose the battery. It should be a round coin-sized battery, which looks like a watch battery. If you're unsure of the type of battery your key fob is using, check with our parts department at Sunset Mitsubishi to find out.
Wear eye protection and gloves before you begin working on the battery to prevent electric shock. Next disconnect the negative cable. It's usually black and could be marked with a minus (-) close to it. If your vehicle is equipped with a protective plastic cover for the negative terminal, take it off it to avoid electrical shorts. Also, loosen the bolt that holds the negative terminal which could be a hex-head bolt or a screw. After you have disconnected the negative cable, you can secure it with the cable tie. Always disconnect the negative cable before connecting the positive cable. This will prevent a potentially dangerous short.
You'll have to remove the bar or any other restraint that is used to secure the battery on most vehicles before you can take off the battery. The positive terminal is red, and may include an plus (+) sign next to it or a protective cover. If you see any corrosion on the battery terminal clamps be sure to clean them off before you reconnect them.
Then, you can install a new battery, ensuring that it will be the same size and shape of the old one. You can purchase a replacement battery from the local auto parts shop or purchase it online from the manufacturer. Install the new battery into the key fob, then connect the two halves together. Make sure it's tightly pushed into. Test the functions of the fob once it's been plugged in to ensure that everything is working.

FAST Key Entry System
Mitsubishi Motors designs cars with drivers in mind. This includes their revolutionary FAST Key Entry System. This system, when paired with the available push-to start technology, allows you to start your car without having to touch your ignition or look for your keys. It's one of many convenience features that make driving a Mitsubishi SUV in North Huntingdon and Pittsburgh so much more enjoyable.
The name FAST stands for Free-Hand Advanced Security Transmitter which pretty much explains the way it works. The key fob emits radio signals that are spotted by your vehicle when they're within a certain distance from the car's receiver. This is what unlocks your doors and activates your lighting for the courtesy lights, as being, if it in conjunction with push-to start, starts the engine.
Once the key fob is within a specific range of the receiver the signal is read by the onboard computer system in your vehicle to determine if it's authenticated or not. The system then decides the degree of control or access the transmitter has. This could be as simple as opening doors, starting the car engine or deactivating the alarm systems.
Therefore it is necessary to have a key fob that is compatible to work with your vehicle and properly programmed to make use of these functions. The process of programming a key fob differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. The car is put in a special mode by pressing a button repeatedly while holding another button on the key fob. When the car's onboard computer has accepted the digital identity code of the fob, the car is taken out of programming mode.
