Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery: Service and Repair

With normal use, the battery in the keyless entry transmitter should last for about 2 years.




If the transmitter does not work in the normal range, the battery is weak. If you have to get close to the vehicle in order to operate the transmitter, change the battery.
