    Hello and thanks for any future help! My fiancé has a 2007 Prius with the sks functionality. After a traction battery failure and replacement at around 200,000 miles the car began to unlock/lock remotely itself as if you were using the sks but regardless of how close you are not. We will be sitting at dinner with the car parked down our driveway and still hear it go off. It is driving us insane! Lol. I have replaced the batteries in the fob, which didn’t affect it at all. Also, we have turned the SKS system off entirely and it still continues. Sorry if this is a newbie topic or easy fix but any help is much appreciated!

    welcome!

    may not be the issue, but start with the 12 volt battery health

    Sounds like you have a sticky button on your keyfob. It has nothing to do with SKS

    would that be the case if it is out of range with sks shut off?

    The sks shut off is the key information provided. So it's not sks related. It's just the button on the keyfob being pressed

    Got the replacement fob “case” off of amazon and switched the guts over to the new one. Works great! Thanks everyone for the help!

    Make sure you switch over the RFID chip, most people miss this when they switch things over. It's the chip needed to start the car in the key slot
