Toyota Key Fob Replacement

Toyota Key Fob Battery Replacement

Most likely, if your Toyota key fob has suddenly stopped working, then the battery needs to be replaced. To find out which battery you need, you’ll have to open your key fob case. In newer Toyota models, you can do this by pulling out the hidden key and inserting it into a slot specifically meant to open the case. On older models, you should be able to use a thin object to pry the case open where there is a noticeable notch on the case. Then, follow these instructions:

• Open your key fob with either your key (newer models), fingers, or a thin but strong object at the designated notch or slot.
• After the case is open, gently lift the circuit board to reveal the battery.
• Take note of what kind of battery it is and how it sits in the case. Most Toyota models use a CR2032 battery. These batteries are widely available in Schaumburg stores and online. They’re usually under $5 too, depending on the brand and package size you buy.
• Once you have your Toyota key fob battery replacement, put it inside your key fob case and close it.
• Test your key fob to ensure it’s working. If it doesn’t, open the case again and readjust the battery, making sure the connections are clean, and they’re making contact with the battery. If the key fob still doesn’t work, you may need a Toyota key fob replacement.
