Lexus Key Replacement - Replacing a Remote Or Fob

If you have a traditional Lexus key that is used to turn on the ignition, or a smart key for your car, which starts with the push of an arrow, eventually the battery inside your fob will run out. It's easy to replace it using a paperclip. Simply take out the battery that was in use, and then insert the new one (refer to the owner's manual for the type of battery you need) and then secure it back into the correct position.

Keys

Lexus keys aren't easy to replace. A professional locksmith is required to create an alternative that functions. Every Lexus key is equipped with an embedded microchip that must be programmed to work with the immobiliser system in your vehicle.

This procedure takes time and requires special equipment to perform correctly, and each model has its own programming procedure. Replacing a lost lexus key or damaged key or fob can be a costly task and one you should leave to professionals unless you possess the proper tools and knowledge.

You will need to replace the batteries in your smart key or standard key. Both keys work by turning the barrel of the ignition. You can save money by doing this yourself, but it will require the use of a small Phillips screwdriver as well as coins (a 20p piece is ideal) and a paperclip. There are two or three screws on the back of the fob for the key. Unscrew them and then store them in a safe place (they are small and easy to lose). Take the fob off, revealing an indentation of a circular shape where the key's metal part will be. Take the battery out with the paperclip, and then insert the new battery, ensuring that it's properly inserted. Clip the inside of the key back together.

Remotes

Replacing the Lexus remote or fob can be complicated and requires skilled locksmiths equipped with the right tools as well as knowledge. Some models require the transponder inside the key to be changed in order to function with the immobiliser of the vehicle. The lexus key fob models employ different methods to program these chips. This is done with an electronic device that transmits a signal to the chip which matches the code used to open the doors and start the engine.

Certain Lexus vehicles are designed with a device that combines the key head and remote. These are easier to replace because there is no separate chip required. This type of key can also be a bit cheaper.

All fobs eventually lose their battery power, regardless of the kind of key. This is a stressful situation, but it's possible to get your Lexus back on track with a little bit of knowledge. Read the owner's guide to determine what type of battery you need. Then, find a replacement. Locate a small hole on the inside of the fob. Insert an amount of money (20p is a good choice) into the hole and then twist. The fob should be revealed as the flat spot, which you can make use of a paper clip to remove.

Then, take the old battery out and replace the new one. Make sure that the replacement battery is installed with the proper the polarity. Finally, you can clip the inside of the fob back together, and insert the key back into the metal.

Transponder Chips

Nearly all new cars made since 1995 include transponder chips embedded in the key head to disarm the immobiliser system. The head of a key that includes a transponder chips can be removed to reveal a steel L-shaped key. A transponder-chip replacement key or fob is a multi-stage procedure. It involves cutting the keys precisely and programming the chip to sync up with the vehicle immobiliser.

A transponder is a type of chip with Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set windings, which are delicate wires that are twisted around the tube. They resemble the ones in an electric motor. The windings are coded to create a signal that the car can read. If the code is valid, then the car will allow you to start it.

There are two kinds of transponder chips, the first is called the 80-bit and the other is called the circle + (General Motors). The first kind is reusable, but must be removed using a special machine to function on a different vehicle compatible with it. The latter is more difficult as the old keys are usually damaged or drilled through, or discarded when key cases are replaced. However, they can be used with a service-key that doesn't require a battery.

Immobiliser Systems

An immobiliser system is an electronic security feature that stops thieves from starting your vehicle. It operates by sending an electronic signal from your car to the key each time 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 do not match, the engine will shut down immediately and prevent theft of your car.

Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with an embedded transponder chip that stores electronic security in a format that cannot be duplicated. When the fob or key are inserted into the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU analyzes this code in comparison to the one stored in its memory and activates both the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes don't match, your engine will not start, even if a burglar tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Replacing a key or fob is a multi-stage procedure that involves accurate cutting of the new key blade, and programming it to connect with your car's immobiliser system. Each immobiliser system is distinct and has its own unique programming procedure. We use Ross-Tech software to ensure that your replacement key is programmed correctly to ensure maximum performance and security.
