How to Replace Key Fob Battery 2016 Honda Civic

Is your 2016 Honda Civic key fob acting up? Before you rush to the dealership, it might be a simple battery issue. Replacing the key fob battery is a quick and easy fix you can do yourself, saving you time and money. Let’s walk through how to replace the key fob battery in your 2016 Honda Civic.

What You’ll Need:

• A new CR2032 battery (you can often find these at grocery stores, drugstores, and auto parts stores)
• A small flat-head screwdriver

Replacing the Battery:

1. Open the Key Fob: On the backside of your key fob, you’ll notice a small release button or slot. Use your fingernail or the flat-head screwdriver to gently press the button or pry open the slot. This will separate the key fob casing.
2. Locate the Battery: Inside the key fob, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. It’s a small, round, and silver battery.
3. Remove the Old Battery: Gently pry the old battery out of its compartment. You can use the flat-head screwdriver for this step, but be careful not to damage the fob.
4. Insert the New Battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment, making sure the positive (+) side faces up, just like the old battery.
5. Close the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them firmly together until you hear a click. This means the casing is securely closed.
6. Test the Key Fob: Try locking and unlocking your car doors using the key fob buttons to make sure the new battery is working correctly.
