Default MAZDA CX5 2018 won't start; Keyless system Malfunction

I drove my car today as usual but in the evening my neighbor informed me that my Hazard light was blinking. I went out to check it out -- turned the hazard light off but not able to start the engine anymore.
I checked the battery voltage with milt-meter it read 14.5V so I figured the battery was okay.
I'm seeing "
keyless system malfuction' and both of my key (with new battery) won't let me start the engine.

Disconnected the negative battery for hours, re-connected and it seems the problem persists -- I'm not able to even drive to dealer for diagnosis..

Any suggestions would help!!

Try pressing your remote against/into the start button while pushing the brake pedal.

Cool

Just because a multimeter says the battery has “enough” voltage doesn’t automatically mean it will start a modern computer-controlled vehicle. Under the load from the starter the voltage depression may be enough to shut down the start function. Or not, but it is a possibility. You do know that while under warranty Mazda will come out and start your car or tow it to the dealer for free, right?
