Toyota Key Fob Battery Replacement: Step by Step

The helpful team members in our parts department will be happy to swap out your key fob battery for you. However, if you, like a lot of our customers, would like to change it yourself, follow these steps for proper Toyota key fob battery replacement:

1. Remove the key from the fob. There's a little metal button right above the key part of your key fob. Press that button, and pull out the key.
2. Open the fob. Fit a small screwdriver or some other flat object into the little slot that the key fits into, and pop open the fob.
3. Remove the green circuit board. Do this gently, so as not to damage the components.
4. Replace the battery. Take note of the kind of battery you need to replace, which should be written on a label on the original battery. You can also find this in your owner's manual; most Toyota key fobs require a CR 2032 3V. You can find a replacement battery at most electronic stores, or you can order one online.
5. Put the fob back together, and place the key back in the fob.

• How do I change a Toyota key fob battery?

The key fob for my Toyota Camry is hardly working to unlock my car. I think it’s time to change the battery. What’s the easiest way to replace a remote battery for a Toyota?

I see how that could be frustrating! It’s actually pretty simple to change a Toyota key fob battery, and it will only take a few short minutes.

Here’s how to replace the battery in your Toyota Camry remote:

1. Pull the metal spare key out from the fob. Press the small metal button at the top of your fob to release the key and pull it out.
2. Open the key fob. Use a flat tool, like a flathead screwdriver, to stick into the slot for the metal key and turn it to pop open the fob.
3. Remove the circuit board to access the battery. Make sure to use caution so you don’t damage anything.
4. Replace the dead battery. Most Toyota fobs use a CR2032 battery, which can be found online and at most big-box retailers.
5. Put it all back together. Replace the circuit board, snap the plastic back together, and reinsert the metal key. Then, test the fob.

Just like that, you have a fresh battery in your Toyota key fob!
