Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery: Service and Repair
RKE Transmitter Batteries
NOTE: Do not disturb the metal terminal near the batteries. Avoid touching the new batteries. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If batteries are
touched, clean with rubbing alcohol.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter case snaps open and shut for battery access. To replace the RKE transmitter batteries:
1. Using a thin coin, gently pry at the notch in the center seam of the RKE transmitter case halves near the key ring until the two halves unsnap. Be
careful not to damage the rubber gasket when separating the case halves.
2. Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of the RKE transmitter.
3. Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.
4. Replace the two batteries with new 3V lithium 2016 cell. Install the batteries with the positive terminal up. Reference the "+ SIDE UP" on the
inside of the bottom half of the transmitter case.
5. Align the two RKE transmitter case halves with each other, and squeeze them firmly and evenly together until they snap back into place. Test
transmitter operation.
