How to Change Battery in Honda Car Key Fob

Is your Honda key fob acting up? Before you schedule a service appointment, there’s a good chance you simply need a new battery. Don’t worry, changing the battery in your Honda car key fob is easier than you think. With a few simple steps and the right tools, you can get back on the road in no time.

What You’ll Need

• A small flathead screwdriver
• A new CR2032 battery (You can often find these at grocery stores, pharmacies, and auto parts stores. Don’t forget to check your owner’s manual for the correct battery type.)

Time to Change That Battery!

1. Open the Key Fob: Locate the small slot on the side of your key fob. Carefully insert the flathead screwdriver and gently pry open the casing. You might hear a slight click when it separates.
2. Access the Battery: Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the battery. It’s usually held in place by a small clip or tab. Use your screwdriver to gently lift the battery out of its compartment.
3. Install the New Battery: Make sure the positive (+) side of the new CR2032 battery is facing up, matching the orientation of the old battery. Gently press it into place.
4. Reassemble the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together firmly until you hear a click, indicating the casing is securely closed.
5. Test it Out: Try unlocking and locking your car doors using the key fob to ensure the new battery is working correctly.

FAQs:

• How often should I change my Honda key fob battery? Most Honda key fob batteries last between 3-5 years. However, if you notice your key fob’s range decreasing or you need to hold it closer to the car for it to work, it’s probably time for a replacement.
• Can I damage my key fob by changing the battery myself? As long as you’re careful and follow the steps correctly, changing the battery yourself shouldn’t damage your key fob. However, if you’re unsure about any step, it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual or seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.
• What if my key fob still doesn’t work after changing the battery? If replacing the battery doesn’t solve the problem, there might be a more complex issue with your key fob, such as a broken button or a programming error. In this case, it’s best to contact your local Honda dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith for assistance.
