Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the battery in your Toyota Sequoia key fob:

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

First, locate the button on the side of the key fob that says “push.” Hold this button down and pull out the internal key. This will give you access to the keyhole and the slot in the plastic casing.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob Casing

Next, use a flathead screwdriver to open the key fob casing. Insert the screwdriver into the slot perpendicular to the keyhole. Twist the screwdriver gently until the casing pops open. Set the halves of the casing aside.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board

Inside the key fob, you will find a small circuit board. Carefully pull out this circuit board to expose the battery compartment.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Use the flathead screwdriver to remove the old battery. Insert the screwdriver between the battery and the plastic behind it. Apply constant pressure until the battery slides out easily.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Place the battery into the compartment, ensuring it sits directly on top of the circle inside the casing.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Now that the new battery is in place, click the two halves of the key fob casing back together. Finally, reinsert the internal key into its slot.
