2022-2023 Jeep Compass Key Fob Inoperative TSB

Symptoms of an Inoperative Key Fob

Owners of 2022-2023 Jeep Compass vehicles might encounter issues with their key fobs. The primary symptoms include the key fob being "Key fob inop" or receiving a "low fob battery" message. These issues can prevent the vehicle from starting or locking/unlocking remotely.

Important Warnings for Owners

It is crucial for owners and technicians to follow specific instructions regarding this issue. The manufacturer explicitly states: "Do not replace the keyfob battery, replace entire keyfob."

For a 2022-2023 Jeep Compass experiencing an inoperative key fob or a "low fob battery" warning, the recommended repair is to replace the entire key fob unit. This procedure, outlined in manufacturer communication NHTSA ID 10248514, ensures that the underlying issue is addressed, rather than just the symptom of a low battery.
