Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery: Service and Repair

Transmitter Battery Replacement:

Under normal use, the battery in the transmitter should last about two years.

You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't work at the normal range in any location. If you have to get close to the vehicle before the transmitter works, it's probably time to change the battery.

DISASSEMBLE
1. Transmitter by inserting a dime or flat-bladed tool into the slot on the side of the transmitter and twist to separate the halves.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not use the metal flanges to "pop out" the battery.
3. Battery from the transmitter.

ASSEMBLE
1. Battery into the transmitter.
2. Reassemble the transmitter.
Inspect
1. Make sure the transmitter halves are snapped together to prevent water intrusion.
