Lexus Key Replacement - Replacing a Remote Or Fob

The battery in the key fob will eventually run out, whether you own the standard Lexus Car Key Key that switches the ignition on or an intelligent one for your vehicle that can start by pressing a button. The replacement process is simple with using a paperclip. Pop the old battery out and insert the new one (refer to the owner's guide to see which type of battery you require), and clip it back into place.

Keys

Lexus keys aren't always easy to replace. A specialist locksmith is needed to make an appropriate replacement that functions. Each Lexus key is equipped with an embedded microchip, which needs to be programmed in order to work with the immobiliser system in your vehicle.

This procedure takes time and special equipment to execute correctly, and every model has a different programming procedure. Replacing a key or a remote fob is a cost-effective service and should be left to professionals unless you possess the proper tools and knowledge.

You'll need to replace the batteries in your smart key or conventional key. Both keys function by turning the barrel of the ignition. You can save money by doing this yourself, but you'll need an inexpensive Phillips screwdriver, coins (a 20p piece works best) and a paperclip. On the back of the fob, you will find two or one screw remove them and place them somewhere safe (they're tiny and easy to lose). Remove the fob, which will reveal an indentation of a circular shape where the key made of metal will be. Pop the battery out with the paperclip, and then insert the new battery, making sure that it's properly inserted. Then, clip the outside of the key back to the fob.

Remotes

Replacing the Lexus remote or fob can be an extremely complex process that requires expert locksmiths with both the right tools and experience. Certain models require that the transponder chip contained in the key be changed to function with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The Lexus models employ different methods to program these chips. This is accomplished by using an instrument that sends a signal to the chip that matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine.

Some Lexus vehicles are equipped with a device that combines the key head and the remote. They are easy to replace because there is no separate chip needed. This type of key can also be a little less expensive.

All fobs eventually lose their battery power, regardless of the kind of key. This is a stressful experience, but it is possible to get your lexus replacement key fob back up and running with a little bit of knowledge. First, check the owner's manual to identify the kind of battery you need and then locate an alternative. Find small holes in the inside of the fob. Then, insert the coin (a 20p piece works best) and twist. This should reveal the flat spot, which you can make use of a paper clip to take away.

Then, remove the battery that was used and replace it with the new one. Make sure to insert the battery with the correct the polarity. Clip the inside of your fob to insert the key in the metal.

Transponder Chips

Nearly all new cars made since 1995 include transponder chips within the key head to disarm the immobiliser system. If you've got keys that has a chip inside it, the head is covered with a plastic cover which can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. Having a replacement key or fob made with a transponder chip is a multi-stage method that includes accurate cutting of the replacement lexus key keys and programming the transponder chip so that it can synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser.

Transponders are electronic device with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire coiled around tubes) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. These windings form a coded signal for the car to read. If the code is valid, then the car will allow you to start it up.

There are two types of transponder chips, one called the 80 bit and the other one is called a circle + (General Motors). The former type is reusable but it needs to be unlocked by a specific machine in order to be used in a compatible vehicle. The second type is more difficult to use as the old keys can be damaged, broken or thrown out when key cases are changed. They are able to be salvaged however for use with a service key that doesn't require a battery in order to function.

Immobiliser Systems

Immobiliser systems are electronic security measures that prevent thieves from starting up your vehicle. It works by sending a signal from your vehicle to your key when you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside the key responds by transmitting a unique code that must match the one of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't match, the engine will shut down immediately, preventing theft of your vehicle.

Modern smart keys and fobs have an embedded transponder that stores electronic security information in a format which is not easily copied. When the key or fob are inserted in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU will then check it against the code that is stored in its memory. It then activates the ignition and fuel system circuit if the two coincide. If the codes do not match, your engine won't start - even if an armed robber attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Replacing a fob or a key is a multi-stage procedure which involves precise cutting the new lexus key blade for the key and programming it to work with your car's immobiliser system. Each immobiliser system is unique and has its own programming procedure. We employ Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is correctly programmed.
