Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery: Service and Repair

Description:

The remote transmitters for the RKE system require periodic battery replacement. Battery life under normal operation should be approximately two years. The back side of the transmitter contains a cover providing access to the battery compartment. To open, place the round end of a GM Door Key in the slot and rotate the cover counter-clockwise one sixteenth of a turn. The cover should then be able to be lifted from the transmitter. An O-Ring is used to ensure a proper seal and should be reinstalled when replacing the battery. Use replacement battery Sanyo CR2025 or equivalent.

Important
^ Use of the wrong battery size may damage the transmitter. The correct battery can be obtained by calling either:
