Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, new key fob battery (if needed), owner's manual.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the ignition is off.

2. Key Fob Battery Replacement

  • Tools Required: Small flathead screwdriver, new key fob battery (typically CR2032).
  • Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the key fob casing.
  • Remove the old battery and replace it with the new battery, ensuring the positive side is facing the correct direction.

3. Clear Error Codes

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner.
  • Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port (usually located under the dashboard).
