Easiest way would be to put a new battery in your spare fob and see if you still have the same issue. If so, move on to investigating the bike. If not, it's your other fob.

happy new battery!

i don't change mine until they are dead. usually about 2-1/2 years or so out of them. but, i know my override code, and i know how to use it. dead battery isn't going to strand me....
