Toyota Key Fob Battery Replacement

Replacing your Toyota key fob battery is simple. To determine which battery you need, open your key fob case. For the newest Toyota models, this can be done by pulling out the hidden key and inserting it into a slot specifically meant to open the case. On pre-owned models, you should be able to use a thin object to pry the case open where there’s a noticeable notch on the case. You can follow these instructions for a Toyota key fob battery replacement: 

• Open your key fob with either your key (newer models), finger, or a thin but strong object at the designated slot or notch.
• After the case is open, gently lift the circuit board to reveal the battery.
• Note what kind of battery it is and how it’s positioned in the case. Most Toyota models use a CR2032 battery. These batteries are widely available in stores in the North Hollywood area or online.
• Once you have your Toyota key fob battery replacement, put it inside your key fob case and close it.
• Test your Toyota key fob to ensure it’s working. If it’s not, open your case again and readjust the battery, making sure the connections are clean and they’re making contact with the battery. If your key fob is still not working, you may need a Toyota key fob replacement.
