Battery Replacement

Under normal use, the battery in your keyless access
transmitter should last about three years.

You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is probably time to change the battery.

A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOBS DETECTED when you try to start the vehicle. If
this happens, place the transmitter in the glove box
transmitter pocket with the buttons facing towards the
passenger’s side. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P) for
an automatic transmission press the break pedal and the
START button, or if your vehicle has a manual
transmission, press the clutch and the START button.
Although this will start the vehicle, it is recommended that
you replace the transmitter battery as soon as possible.
The DIC may display FOB BATTERY LOW.

Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not
to touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

1. Insert a coin or similar object into the slot on the

back of the transmitter and gently pry apart the
front and back.

2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.

3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+)

side down. Use a battery, type CR2032, or
equivalent.

4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it

together so water will not get in.

5. Test the transmitter.
