NOTICE:

When replacing the transmitter battery, before starting work, remove static electricity that has built up in the body by touching, for example, the Toyota Prius vehicle to prevent the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from being damaged.

HINT:

If a new or known good transmitter battery is not available, first connect 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series. Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, as shown in the illustration.

(3) From outside the Toyota Prius vehicle, approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) away from the driver door outside door handle, test the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch.

OK:

The door lock can be operated via the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

The LED comes on more than once.

The operation area differs depending on the user, the way the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held, and the location.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly weak radio waves may be affected if the area has strong radio waves or noise. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly operation area may be shortened or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not function.

(b) Inspect the transmitter battery capacity.
