2 Answers
Method for replacing the battery in a Highlander key: 1. First, prepare a flat-head screwdriver; 2. Turn the key over and flip the key switch; 3. Pull out the mechanical key; 4. In the slot where the mechanical key was removed, use the flat-head screwdriver to pry open; 5. Pry open the key casing, replace with a new battery, and then reassemble the key. The Highlander is a large SUV in the Toyota family, with a body length of 4890 mm, width of 1925 mm, height of 1720 mm, and a wheelbase of 2790 mm, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As someone who frequently tinkers with vehicle electronics, I recently replaced the battery in my Highlander key fob. First, find a small flat-head screwdriver or a dedicated pry tool, align it with the seam on the back cover of the key fob, and gently pry it open. Inside, you'll find a CR2032 coin cell battery—remember to install it with the positive side facing outward to avoid reversing the polarity. After removing the old battery, insert the new one, press it firmly into place, and then snap the cover back on. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, saving you 50-60 yuan in service fees and avoiding the hassle of waiting in line at the dealership. I recommend using high-quality lithium batteries for longer lifespan, and remember to recycle old batteries properly to protect the environment. Checking the battery every two years can prevent the embarrassment of sudden power loss.
