    I just had my Prius in a Toyota-Authorized shop (not a dealer) for a simple oil change. When I pick up the car, it won't recognize the fob. The smart entry system doesn't work at all, but the car will start with the fob inserted AND the remote entry buttons do work. Will the buttons work if the battery isn't strong enough to operate the smart entry function? I can replace the battery if that's the problem, but wondering if that IS the problem.

    Turn on SKS by pressing the SKS button under the steering wheel.

    Don't know why they turned that off, but that was the fix. Thanks for the help!
