how to replace the remote keyless battery on a Honda automatic motorcycle
The keyless remote on the Honda automatic motorcycle is indeed one of the most useful features in everyday life. However, over time of use, remote keyless batteries can experience a decrease in quality. This can cause some symptoms such as dim indicator lights or reduced remote range.
Signs that the remote keyless battery is starting to weaken
Some signs that indicate that the remote keyless battery is starting to weaken include:
- The indicator light on the remote keyless seems dim.
- Remote range shortens when the Answer Back button is pressed.
- The remote does not respond well when in use.
If you see these symptoms, you should immediately replace the remote keyless battery with a new one so as not to interfere with the use of the motor.
Preparation before replacing the battery
Before starting the battery replacement process, make sure you have prepared a new battery first. Remote keyless batteries usually use the CR2032 type coin model. The replacement process is quite simple and can be done alone without the need to take the motorbike to the workshop.
Steps to Replace the Remote Keyless Battery
Here are the steps to replace the remote keyless battery:
- Use your nails or the help of a mini screwdriver to open the bottom of the remote. Gently press until the remote cover opens.
- After the remote cover is removed, remove the old battery by prying it back in, the same as how to open the cover.
- Install the new battery with the positive side facing inward according to the original. Make sure it’s not upside down.
- Close the keyless remote again until it is tight and make sure all components are functioning normally.
Remote keyless battery life
The life of the remote keyless battery can vary depending on the conditions of use. In general, the battery can last up to 1.5 years before the time it is replaced. After the battery is successfully replaced, the indicator light on the instrument panel will return to normal and the remote will return to function as before.
By changing the battery regularly, you can ensure that the remote keyless feature continues to work optimally and provides comfort in the use of Honda automatic motorcycles.
