How to Replace a Broken Toyota Key Fob

• If the key itself is damaged, you can get a new key cut at your local Fort Worth Toyota service center and continue using your fob.
• If the key fob case is damaged but the electronics inside are intact, you may be able to order a replacement case and keep using your existing key fob.
• If the key fob is damaged beyond repair from water, physical damage, or other means, you will need a Toyota key fob replacement.
• If you don’t know what’s wrong with your key fob other than it’s not working, you may need a Toyota key battery replacement.

Toyota Key Battery Replacement Steps

If your Toyota key fob has stopped working for no apparent reason, it may be the battery. Fortunately, it’s easy for drivers to replace Toyota key fob batteries. To find out which battery you need, you’ll have to open the case.

On older Toyota models, you can open the key fob case by inserting a flat tool like a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool into the small slot on the case. On newer Toyota models, you can open the key fob case by removing the hidden key and inserting it into the slot on the case. Once your case opens, you can find the battery type and order replacement batteries.

Here’s how to replace your Toyota key fob battery:

• Open the key fob case.
• Carefully remove the old battery. Use caution to not scratch the circuit board. Take note of exactly how the battery is sitting inside the case.
• Place the new battery inside your key fob in the same direction the old battery was sitting.
• Close your key fob case.
• Test your key fob to ensure it’s working. If it doesn’t, you may try readjusting the battery in the case. If it still doesn’t work, you may need a Toyota key fob replacement.
