Are you having trouble unlocking your Toyota with your key fob? If so, it may be time to change the battery. While this may seem like a daunting task, it’s actually quite simple and can be done in just a few minutes. In this article, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to change the battery on your Toyota key fob. We’ll also provide some tips on how to keep your key fob battery lasting longer.
The first step is to gather the necessary tools. You’ll need a small Phillips head screwdriver, a new CR2032 battery, and a clean cloth. Once you have your tools, you can begin the process of changing the battery. Start by removing the screw that holds the key fob together. Once the screw is removed, you can gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart. Be careful not to damage the key fob while doing this.
Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the battery. Use the tip of the screwdriver to gently pry the battery out of its compartment. Once the old battery is removed, insert the new battery into the compartment. Make sure that the positive terminal of the battery is facing up. Once the new battery is in place, you can reassemble the key fob. Start by snapping the two halves of the key fob together. Then, replace the screw that holds the key fob together. Finally, test the key fob to make sure that it’s working properly.
