It's simple to replace it using the use of a paperclip. Simply remove the old battery, replace it with the new battery (refer to the owner's manual to determine the type of battery that you require) and then secure it back in the appropriate spot.

Keys

Lexus keys are not simple to replace and require a professional locksmith for car keys to make a working spare. Every Lexus key comes with an embedded microchip, which needs to be programmed in order to communicate with the immobiliser system of your vehicle.

This process requires time and special equipment to do correctly, and each model has its own programing procedure. Replacing keys or remotes is a costly task that you should leave to professionals, unless you are equipped with the proper equipment and know-how.

You will need to replace the batteries in your smart key or traditional key. Both keys operate by turning the barrel of the ignition. You can save money by doing this yourself, but it requires an inexpensive Phillips screwdriver and an old coin (a 20p piece is ideal) and a paperclip. On the side of the fob you will see one or two screws loosen them and place them in a safe place (they're small and easy to lose). Remove the fob to reveal an indentation that is circular for the key made of metal. Take the battery out (using the paperclip) and replace it with the new one ensuring that it's pointing the right way up. Then clip the inside of the key back to the fob.

Remotes

Replacing the Lexus remote or fob is complicated and requires skilled locksmiths with the right tools as well as knowledge. Certain models require the transponder within the key to be changed to work with the immobiliser system in the car. The Lexus models employ different methods to program these chips. This is done using a special device which transmits a specific code to the chip to unlock the doors or to start the engine.

Some Lexus automobiles are built with a single unit that incorporates the key head and remote, and these are simpler to replace as there is no separate chip. This type of key can also be a little cheaper.

The fob should be revealed as a flat area that you can utilize a paperclip to take away.

Then, pull the old battery off and insert the new one. Make sure that the replacement battery is installed with the correct polarity. Finally, clip the inside of the fob back and reconnect the key to the metal.

Transponder Chips

Most new cars since 1995 have transponder chips within the key head to disable the immobiliser system. The head of a key that has a transponder chip can be removed to reveal a metallic L-shaped key. Making a replacement key, or fob with transponder chips is a multi-stage method that involves precise cutting of replacement keys and programming the transponder chip in order to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser.

A transponder is an electronic chip equipped with Non-Volatile memory (NVM) which contains a set of windings (very fine wire wrapped around a tube) which look similar to ones found in an electric motor. These windings form a coded signal for the car to read. If the code is correct, the car will start.

There are two kinds of transponder chip. The first is called the 80-bit and the other is called the circle + (General Motors). The former is reusable however it must be unlocked with a special device to work in another compatible vehicle. The latter type is more difficult as the old keys are often damaged or drilled through, or discarded after key cases are replaced. They can be salvaged however and used with a service key lexus that does not require a battery to operate.

Immobiliser Systems

Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices that stop thieves from starting your car. It works by sending an electronic signal from your car to your key each time you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside the key responds by sending a unique number of codes that must match that of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes do not match, your engine will shut off immediately to prevent theft.

Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with an embedded transponder which stores electronic security information in a format which cannot be easily copied. When the key or fob are inserted into the ignition, they send this code to the ECU. The ECU compares this code with the one stored in its memory, and then activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes don't match, the engine will not start - even if a thief tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
