Toyota Corolla Smart Key Battery Change HOW TO

[@delgie6]

Many thanks. You made this so easy. Brings back memories of taking a Ford Focus in for a service at a main dealership and receiving a phone call later in the day to say that the key battery needed replacing and it would cost about £45. This came as a bit of an unpleasant shock especially when I pointed out to the caller that I hadn't actually left them the electronic key, just the spare which was just an ordinary mechanical one which obviously didn't have a battery. Cue embarrassed silence on the other end of the phone followed by an assortment of weak excuses for the error ... main dealers eh!!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

They just can't help themselves. Thanks for the story, really appreciate the feedback :)

[@juniorreds9495]

​@TheCarKeyMan how can I get a key similar to one in in demo

[@TheThejpmshow]

Bullshitters Extraordinaire!

[@sarahkennedy6246]

I've left my Toyota Auris key on the warning thing for weeks because I didn't know where to start. THANK YOU for making this so easy!!! :)

[@TheCarKeyMan]

You're welcome Sarah, thanks for the feedback :)

[@MichaelBarket-ib7oz]

Awesome video. After 3 1/2 years my dashboard light came up with a "Key Battery Low Warning". This video made replacement quite easy peasy (as you say). Thank you! Cheers. 🍻

[@TheCarKeyMan]

That's great stuff, really pleased it helped :)

[@chimpankie1954]

Both my keys needed new batteries, I paid for one in Timpsons and now feel a right mug because changing the other one was so easy thanks to this video!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, well at least you know now going forward, don't be too hard on yourself!

[@KamaMcCarthy]

Thank you so much! Saved me $50 and waiting time by just doing it myself 😊

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Great stuff Kama, really pleased it helped :)

[@MTMabowels]

My Corolla’s handbook is completely silent on the matter. Thanks to your video I have managed to change my battery in a jiffy, with a spare battery I had lying around.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

That’s great news, sorry to hear it’s missing, Toyota are normally pretty comprehensive!

[@lizziecuevas3228]

I felt like it was my dad explaining me car things. Thank you so much

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Lizzie :)

[@OkMushroom64]

[@TheCarKeyMan]

You're very welcome Terry, thanks for the feedback :)

[@thisismelissaaaa]

Thank you!!! I saw the notification on my dash yesterday and I knew I'd forget if I didn't do it soon. Quick and easy and I opened mine just now and popped a new one in easy peasy! Appreciate the assist 🙂

[@TheCarKeyMan]

You're very welcome Melissa, pleased it helped :)

[@relaxation-nation354]

[@geoca82]

Thank you! I can't believe this sort of easy DIY isn't mentioned in the user manual, at least I haven't found it anywhere (Corolla hybrid, 2020, Swedish user manual).

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, yes i'm not sure why there's not more help when you spend so much on a car. Thanks for the feedback :)

[@gottaloveit66]

Can I use any brand
of battery?

Hi Nicolas, we only use branded batteries, Duracell, Maxell, Eveready etc. There are some more good ones, but also so many bad brands to avoid......

I learned something very important from this video.Not all 3V batteries are the same.I replaced my origional battery with a 2025 and it did not work. It must be a 2032 or else🤣. Who knew.

[@tatilbury]

Hi Nice video I replaced the battery & cannot open the door with the remote any ideas? Duracell cr 2032

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, was it working before? have you tried putting the old battery back in?

For some reason new non-branded battery don't work, Camelion from Lidl or some place, easy to check fob by pushing pushing button on the fob and check is there red light. New battery has 3,3 volts, old panasonic 2,9 volts, and funniest thing is that panasonic works every time but camelion not. Gotta go to buy panasonic battery even thought i don't understand why similar cr2032 don't work.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, most of the problems we see are because of non-branded key batteries, not sure why buy they don't seem to have the kick to work properly

[@paultamas]

It happened the same to me with Duracell CR2032, I've tried 2 of them and they didn't work.
