How to Change Battery in 2020 Honda Pilot Key Fob

If you’re experiencing issues with your 2020 Honda Pilot key fob, like reduced range or unresponsive buttons, it might be time for a battery replacement. This is a quick and easy process you can do yourself at home with just a few simple tools. Let’s walk through how to change the battery in your 2020 Honda Pilot key fob so you can get back on the road with confidence.

What You’ll Need:

• A fresh CR2032 battery (easily found at most supermarkets, drugstores, and online)
• A small flathead screwdriver
• Your 2020 Honda Pilot key fob

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Locate the release button: On the backside of your key fob, find the small, indented button.
2. Release the key: Gently press the release button and simultaneously slide the metal key out of the fob.
3. Open the fob: Identify the seam or groove that runs around the edge of the key fob. Carefully wedge the tip of your flathead screwdriver into the seam and gently pry the two halves of the fob apart. Be careful not to use excessive force, as this could damage the fob.
4. Replace the battery: Inside the fob, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove it, noting which side is facing up (usually the positive “+” side). Insert the new battery in the same orientation.
5. Reassemble the fob: Align the two halves of the fob and press them together firmly until you hear a click, indicating they’re securely closed.
6. Test the key fob: Reinsert the metal key and try locking and unlocking your Honda Pilot to ensure the new battery is working correctly.

Troubleshooting:

My key fob still isn’t working after replacing the battery. What now?

• Check the battery installation: Ensure the new battery is properly seated in the fob and the orientation (+/-) is correct.
• Resynchronize the fob: Some Honda Pilots may require you to resynchronize the key fob after a battery change. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to do this for your model.
• Consult a professional: If you’ve tried these steps and are still having issues, it’s best to consult a qualified Honda technician or locksmith for further assistance.
