Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Toyota Venza key fob is a straightforward task you can do at home. This guide will walk you through the steps to replace the CR1632 coin battery in key fobs for models from 2009 to 2016.

Gathering Your Tools

Before starting, make sure you have the necessary tools and parts. You will need a CR1632 battery and a flathead screwdriver.

• CR1632 battery
• Flathead screwdriver

Removing the Internal Key

First, you need to remove the internal key from the key fob. Find the button on the side of the key fob that says “push.”

Hold down this button while pulling out the internal key. This will give you access to the inside of the key fob.

Opening the Key Fob

With the internal key removed, locate the little indentation in the plastic of the key fob. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.

Insert the screwdriver into the indentation and twist gently. The key fob should start to open. You can then pull it apart with your fingers.

Removing the Circuit Board

Inside the key fob, you will see a circuit board that also houses the battery. Carefully remove this circuit board.

Be gentle to avoid damaging any components. Set the circuit board aside for now.

Removing the Old Battery

On the circuit board, you will see the CR1632 battery. There is a small opening above the battery where you can insert your flathead screwdriver.

Insert the screwdriver into this space and pry the battery out. Place your thumb on the battery to prevent it from flying out.

Inserting the New Battery

Take your new CR1632 battery and make sure the positive side is facing up. You should see the text and the plus sign on the battery.

Insert the battery into the slot on the circuit board. Ensure it is seated correctly.

Reassembling the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, it’s time to reassemble the key fob. Place the circuit board back into the key fob housing.

Align the two halves of the key fob and click them back together. Ensure everything is secure.

Reinserting the Internal Key

The last step is to reinsert the internal key. Slide it back into the slot until it clicks into place.

Your key fob should now be fully functional with the new battery.
