Remote key battery

[chilrika Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close chilrika]

OK guys, the symptoms are my 150 is getting hard to open with the remote fob, and I don't have a low battery warning coming on on the dash. Sometimes I stand there pressing buttons for ages. I understand how to replace the battery, but I guess my query is will a flat battery necessitate a dealer reset or will everything work as before once replaced? BTW its a 2012 and original battery, so about four years old.

Cheers

Mine remote worked straight after replacing the battery and didn't require anything from a dealer.

Thanks DGW, will go ahead and replace it then.

My SX 155 is late 2009 and the battery in both remotes that came with it failed on consecutive days after two years.

The one my partner uses is still going strong but I had to replace the battery again a few months ago. Just on 4 years.

I replaced the batteries with 10 for $2 batteries from ebay without dealer assistance.

The end of the key hidden in the remote is used to popen the shell.

Just a heads up - most chemists, watch/key repair places will try and charge over $10. Just go to eBay or Jaycar and grab a replacement. I think Jaycar sell them for $3 each.

Thanks guys. I did go to Jaycar and for $2.75 fixed the problem. Easy peasy.
