How To Do A Key Fob Battery Replacement

If your Toyota key fob ever stops working, you’re probably only looking at a battery that needs replacing. Luckily enough, every task from knowing how to open a Toyota key fob to knowing how to put a new battery in is pretty simple. Follow these steps:

• For a newer Toyota model, find the hidden key that can be pulled out and inserted into a slot that opens the case.
• For older models, find the noticeable notch on the case and use a thin object to pry it open.
• Gently lift up the circuit board to expose the battery below.
• Take a moment to write down the type of battery—most Toyota key fobs use a CR2032 battery that can be found easily in stores or online.
• Place the battery replacement inside the case and reseal it.

After you’ve carried out your Toyota key fob replacement, make sure it’s working by locking and unlocking the vehicle and starting the engine. If something is still wrong, you might need to readjust the battery to ensure the connections are clean.

If that still doesn’t work, come down to our Orem dealership for a Toyota key replacement. You can:

• Get a replacement by visiting our service center.
• Get the case replaced by visiting or contacting our parts department.
