Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery: Service and Repair

PKE Transmitter:






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.
