Toyota Venza Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Toyota Venza key fob is a simple task that can be done at home. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps needed to replace the internal battery.

For this tutorial, you will need a CR2032 battery and a small flathead screwdriver. If you need to purchase the battery, you can find it online for just a couple of bucks.

Step-by-Step Battery Replacement

Step 1: Remove the Internal Key

The first step is to locate the switch on the bottom of the key fob. Hold down the switch and pull out the internal key.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob

Next, you will need a small flathead screwdriver. Look for the keyhole and a small slot in the plastic next to it. Insert the screwdriver into this slot and twist it to crack open the key fob.

Step 3: Remove the Battery Housing

Set the opened key fob aside and dump out the internal component that houses the battery.

Step 4: Pry Out the Old Battery

In the top right corner of the battery housing, there is a small space for removing the battery. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this space and pry the battery out.

If your screwdriver is too large, you can use a smaller tool like a precision screwdriver, paper clip, or bobby pin. It doesn’t take much force to remove the battery.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side is facing up. Slide the new battery into place and click it in. The plus sign should be visible.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Place the battery housing back into the key fob. Make sure the battery sits directly on top of the circle in the back piece of plastic.

Click the two halves of the key fob back together and reinsert the internal key. You are all set and good to go!
