Battery
The most common reason for the key fob to not work is a dead battery. However, it can also be caused by water damage, signal interference or a faulty receiver module. In these instances you can utilize an OBDII scanner software to determine whether the remote antenna for keyless entry is displaying errors.
If the key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, it might be worth trying the spare one to determine if there are any internal issues that could be affecting the chip. The rubber seals on the key fob prevent it from submerging in water. However, submerging it in a ocean or pool could harm the electronic components.

Transponder Chip
A transponder chip is a mini-circuit that is embedded in your car key. The chip is programmed with a unique code to match the immobiliser system of your car. This ensures only the correct key is used to start your vehicle.
Without the chip, your car will not start. When you switch on the ignition the transponder transmits an audio signal that is received by the immobiliser system of the car. The chip also transmits a code when you activate the unlock button of your key fob. If your key is equipped with transponder chips, it will require replacement when it's lost.

A key fob is a small device that has a computer chip, a battery and a keyshell made of metal. When the fob is near a reader the copper coils on both sides stimulate and convert the radio frequency signal into electricity. The power is then transmitted to the microcomputer inside the fob that transmits a unique number that is your identity credential.
The key fob will then be shown to the reader to ensure that the number stored in the memory can be matched. This process is known as "key matching" and is used by the vehicle's security system to verify that you're the owner of the car. After being matched, the reader can then start the engine and open the doors.
