Understanding Your Key Fob

Chevrolet Traverse key fobs come in different versions, including four-button, five-button, and six-button models. Regardless of the number of buttons, the process to replace the battery is the same.

Step-by-Step Battery Replacement

Step 1: Locate the Slot

Look at the bottom right of your key fob, next to where the key ring attaches. You will see a thin slot along the seam. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot and twist gently. The key fob should start to open. Once it does, you can remove the flathead screwdriver and use your fingers to pull the key fob apart completely.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board

Gently lift out the circuit board. Be careful to handle it by the edges to avoid touching the faces. This will expose the battery.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Use your fingernail or the flathead screwdriver to lift the old battery out of its compartment. Dispose of the old battery properly.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Make sure your new battery is a CR2032. Insert it into the metal housing with the positive side (marked with a plus sign) facing up.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the circuit board back into the front part of the key fob, ensuring that the battery is facing up and sitting flat. Align the back of the key fob and squeeze everything back together until it snaps into place.

Conclusion

That’s it! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your Chevrolet Traverse key fob. This simple process can save you time and money compared to visiting a dealership.
