How do I change the battery in the car key for my Toyota?
For the past week, I’ve been getting a notification on my Toyota’s display telling me that my car key battery is low. I’ve never put in a new one before. What’s the process to install a new battery in a Toyota remote?

If you got your vehicle new, it is common for your car key fob to need a battery change after about three or four years. If you bought your car used, however, you may need to replace your battery much sooner.
- Purchase the correct battery for your car key fob. If you aren’t sure, check your owner’s manual.
- Press the metal button at the top of the key fob to release the manual key inside.
- Pry the key fob open with a flathead screwdriver.
- Remove the circuit board. Do this carefully to avoid damaging any of the small components.
- Remove the old battery and put the new one in its place.
- Press the key fob back together and return the manual key to its housing.
Once your car key battery has been replaced, take a moment to check out the
