Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Your 2015 Toyota Camry Key Fob Battery
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
Locate the small release tab on the back of your key fob. Using the flat-head screwdriver, gently pry open the key fob casing. Be careful not to damage the internal components.
Step 2: Remove the Old Battery
Inside the key fob, you’ll find the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove the old battery by gently prying it out with your screwdriver.
Step 3: Insert the New Battery
Insert the new CR2032 battery, making sure the positive (+) side faces up. The positive side is usually marked on the battery.
Step 4: Reassemble the Key Fob
Align the two halves of the key fob and press them firmly together until you hear a click, indicating the casing is securely closed.
Step 5: Test the Key Fob
Test all the buttons on your key fob, including locking, unlocking, and panic, to ensure the new battery is working correctly.
Still Having Issues?
If your key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, there might be a different issue. You can try these troubleshooting tips:
- Check Battery Orientation: Ensure the new battery is installed correctly with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Clean the Contacts: Over time, the battery contacts inside the key fob can become dirty or corroded. Use a cotton swab and a small amount of rubbing alcohol to gently clean the contacts.
- Reprogram the Key Fob: In some cases, you might need to reprogram your key fob after replacing the battery. Refer to your Toyota Camry owner’s manual for instructions on how to do this.
