How to Change Key Fob 2015 Lexus

If you’re experiencing issues with your 2015 Lexus key fob, like unresponsive buttons or difficulty starting your car, you might need to change the battery or reprogram the key fob. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of changing a key fob for your 2015 Lexus.

Understanding Your 2015 Lexus Key Fob

Before diving into the process, it’s essential to understand the type of key fob your Lexus uses. There are two main types:

Smart Key Fob: This key fob allows you to unlock and start your car without taking the key out of your pocket or purse.
Standard Key Fob: This traditional key fob has buttons for locking, unlocking, and remotely starting your Lexus.

Knowing your key fob type will help determine the correct steps for changing the battery or reprogramming.

Common Reasons for Changing a Lexus Key Fob

Here are some common signs that indicate you may need to change your Lexus key fob battery or reprogram the device:

Decreased Range: You notice the key fob needs to be closer to the car than usual to lock, unlock, or start the engine.
Unresponsive Buttons: One or more buttons on the key fob fail to respond when pressed.
Intermittent Functionality: The key fob works inconsistently, sometimes functioning correctly and other times failing to respond.
Warning Messages: Your Lexus dashboard displays warnings like “Key Not Detected” or “Low Key Battery.”

Changing the battery in your 2015 Lexus key fob is a relatively simple process:

Identify Battery Type: Consult your Lexus owner’s manual or search online to determine the correct battery type for your key fob.
Open the Key Fob: Most Lexus key fobs have a small release button or slot that allows you to separate the two halves of the fob casing.
Locate and Remove the Old Battery: Once open, you’ll see the battery. Carefully pry it out using a small screwdriver or your fingernail.
Insert the New Battery: Make sure the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the new battery match the orientation of the old battery.
Reassemble the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together until they snap securely shut.

After replacing the battery, test all the key fob functions to ensure it’s working correctly.

If replacing the battery doesn’t resolve the issues with your key fob, you might need to reprogram it. Here’s a general guide to reprogramming your 2015 Lexus key fob.

Note: The specific programming procedure may vary slightly depending on your Lexus model. Always consult your owner’s manual for the most accurate instructions for your vehicle.

Before You Begin:

Gather all your Lexus key fobs, including any spare keys.
Ensure your vehicle is parked in a safe and secure location.
Make sure your car battery is fully charged.

Programming Steps:

Enter Programming Mode: Sit in the driver’s seat, close all doors, and insert your working key fob into the ignition.
Cycle the Ignition: Turn the ignition from “OFF” to “ON” (without starting the engine) several times in rapid succession. The exact number of cycles and the time between them vary by model, so refer to your owner’s manual.
Enter Programming Mode Confirmation: After the correct sequence, the car’s doors should lock and unlock automatically, or the dashboard lights might flash. This signals you’ve entered programming mode.
Program Each Key Fob: Press and hold the “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” buttons on the first key fob simultaneously for a few seconds. Then, release the buttons. Repeat this step for any additional key fobs, including spares.
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition to the “ON” position and then back to the “OFF” position. The car’s doors should lock and unlock again, signaling that programming is complete.

After completing these steps, test all your key fobs to confirm they are functioning correctly.
