How do you replace the battery in a Toyota RAV4 key?
How do you change the battery in a key fob? My key currently only works when I'm right next to the car, so I think it just needs a new battery.

Replacing the battery in your Toyota RAV4 key will require a CR2016 battery if you don’t have a smart key and a CR1632 if you do have a smart key.
- Make sure your hands are dry.
- If you have a smart key system, remove the mechanical key first.
- Next, remove the plastic cover on your key fob using a flathead screwdriver to pry open the case.
- Carefully remove the dead battery, then insert the new one with the + terminal facing up.
If you’re worried about more serious mechanical failures on the road (your car’s battery dying, for instance), check out the
