If the key fob has been opened, to change batteries, or otherwise, then check the immobiliser transponder chip, which is a small grey or black block approx 3 x 4 x 8mm is still there. It sits in the plastic fob housing near the key blade. It often falls out if the fob is opened.

If you have a spare key use that.
