How do I replace a Toyota Tacoma key fob battery?
How can I replace my key fob battery for my Toyota Tacoma? I’ve noticed the lock and unlock functions are getting unreliable and I want to change the battery before they stop working altogether.

It certainly is frustrating when your key fob stops working, so it’s a good move to replace the battery before then. To replace a
Toyota
Tacoma key fob battery:- Locate and push the internal key release button to remove the key. The button may say “push” on it
- Near the space that the key was just removed from, you’ll find a small slot. Gently wedge a small flathead screwdriver into the slot and carefully twist the tool so the fob case splits apart
- Slide the same tool behind the battery to remove it. Be careful not to damage any circuitry behind the battery with the tool
- Insert the new battery with the positive side facing up
- Align the two halves of the key fob case and snap them back together.
- Reinsert the internal key
Simple, right? Your
Toyota Tacoma’s
