Replacing the Battery: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate the release button: Examine your key fob and find the small release button. This is usually on the back or side of the fob.
2. Release the key: Press the release button and gently pull out the physical key from your key fob.
3. Open the fob: With the key removed, you’ll notice a small slot. Insert the flat-head screwdriver into this slot and gently pry open the fob casing. Be careful not to use excessive force, which could damage the fob.
4. Replace the battery: Inside, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove it and note the position of the positive (+) side. Insert the new battery in the same orientation, ensuring a snug fit.
5. Reassemble the fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them firmly together until you hear a click, indicating it’s securely closed.
6. Reinsert the key: Slide the physical key back into its slot on the key fob.
7. Test the fob: Try locking and unlocking your Tahoe to ensure the new battery is working correctly.

Pro Tip from John Miller, Senior Automotive Technician: “Always handle the key fob battery with care. Avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery, as this can reduce its lifespan.”
