Identify the remote before choosing a battery

Make a battery and opening-tool plan from the actual original key housing.

A schematic screw-fastened key is paired with CR1620; a remote with a removable built-in key is paired with CR2032. The shapes identify the distinction, not an exact opening location.
Original schematic. A screw-fastened key and a smart-entry remote use different cells. Verify the real housing and polarity. Manual reference

4 Check the result

  • Which housing and battery pair can you positively match?

  • Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired.
  • Do the housing, battery and tool plan all refer to the same original remote design?
  • Before replacement, does the actual housing still match the chosen manual drawing and battery?

Select what you actually observed. If you have only prepared the plan, record that instead.

Stop and get help if

  • Wet, corroded, broken or aftermarket remote
  • Housing cannot be matched or is damaged: take the actual remote to a service provider.
