How to Replace the Battery in Your 2014 Toyota Avalon Key Fob

Follow these simple steps to replace your key fob battery like a pro:

Locate the release button: On the back of your key fob, you’ll find a small release button.
Release the key: Press the release button and gently slide the metal key out of the fob.
Open the fob: Using the flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry open the key fob casing at the seam. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic.
Replace the battery: Inside, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Note the orientation (+ side facing up) and gently remove it. Insert the new battery in the same orientation.
Reassemble the fob: Carefully snap the two halves of the key fob casing back together.
Reinsert the key: Slide the metal key back into its slot until it clicks securely.
Test it out: Try locking and unlocking your Avalon to make sure your new battery is working correctly.

Still Having Trouble?

If you’ve replaced the battery and are still experiencing issues with your key fob, there might be other factors at play. Consider these possibilities:

Key fob programming: In some cases, you might need to reprogram your key fob after a battery replacement. Refer to your owner’s manual or contact a Toyota dealership for instructions.
Internal damage: Physical damage or water exposure can affect the key fob’s internal components.
Other issues with your car’s system: While less common, there could be a problem with your Avalon’s keyless entry system itself.
