Replace key battery warning remains after new battery

Hi,

The warning came up. So I replaced the battery and tested (press button and the red LED on the key light up briefly). But the warning remains.

What should I do?

BTW, if the key battery runs out, what will happen if I"m driving?

Thanks

Get in car - remove keyless go button - start car with key - turn off car - replace keyless button - takes 2 presses to re-start - you should be good or you bought a cheap sh*t battery

They tried to charge me $20.00 to replace the key fob battery. Lol. Bought a two pack and replaced them myself for $6.00

Sorry for asking ... so the procedure is

1. Start car with key in the ignition
2. Turn off car and remove key from ignition
3. Start car with the Keyless go button on the transmission shifter
4. Turn off car.
5. Repeat 3 and 4.

Is this the procedure to remove the Keyfob battery replacement on the console?

Advanced mahalo for the help.

This is what works for me and it works every time.

1. Set in the car with FOB and close the door.

2. Open FOB and remove the battery

3. Install the new fresh battery in FOB

4. Start the car

5. Turn off ca.

6. All done
