Key fobs can not function due to many reasons, including a dead battery, receiver module issues, signal interference or an internal electronic chip issue.
The most common reason for a key fob not working is a dead battery in the coin. Check that the battery is in its place, and it's not leaky. Replace the battery with one that is the same size and voltage. Examine the contact points of the battery to ensure they aren't damaged and clean.
Water damage is another reason why the key fob may not function. If the key fob was exposed to salt, soapy, or dirty water, it could cause permanent damage. You can test this by taking off the key fob battery and cleaning it using isopropyl, or electronic cleaner.
You can attempt to reprogramme your key fob through an OBD-II scan if it's damaged. This will reset the onboard computer, which will allow your key fob's function to be restored again.

Another reason that can cause the key fob not locking or unlocking is water damage. If the key fob was exposed to clean tap or rainwater it's not a big deal, but if it's been bathed in salty or soapy water, it could have an electronic chip malfunctioning inside that requires reprogramming. If the key fob still cannot be locked or unlocked, it is likely to be a faulty module.

You should also clean the battery's contacts with isopropyl alcohol or an equivalent electronic cleaner to prevent corrosion. If this doesn't fix the issue, it could be required to visit a dealer.
