Key Fob Warning Light Comes On - But Fob Battery tests 100%

I have a 2017 R1200RS. GREAT bike! But recently the key fob warning light has been coming on. I replaced the fob battery, but I am still having the problem. The warning light will illuminate, and then 3 or 4 minutes later go out. I tested the battery today with a load tester, and it is 100%. Does anyone have any idea what this is? The last thing I need is for the bike to stop recognizing the fob or some such thing when I am 300 miles from home.

There are two FOB relayed warnings that can be displayed. On says something like FOB battery low. The other is a yellow key with a question mark. If you are getting the question mark it means the bike has lost commo with the FOB. Our GS/GSA was showing the lost commo signal and was resolved by carrying the FOBs in a differnt location. Turns out that our PackTalk bolds were intefering with the FOBs when they were worn on a lanyard around our necks.
