The compatible replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") type battery is part number CR2025 which is available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, Energizer, Duracell and Maxell.

The only tool needed to access and replace the battery is a small plastic pry bar tool or a flathead screwdriver.

To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, I recommend either covering the tip of your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth or instead use a plastic pry bar tool.

Insert the blade of the tool into the notch or slot located at the bottom edge of the fob housing.

Gently pry apart the two halves of the key fob.

Lift the rear cover off the key fob and set it aside in a safe place.

Gently pull out the old battery with your finger nail or pry it out with a small flathead screwdriver.

Try to avoid bending the metal electrical contacts or scratching the green circuit board.

You'll notice that there is a "-" negative symbol printed on the green circuit board.

Push a new number CR2025 battery straight into the socket with the "-" negative side facing down and the "+" positive side facing up towards you.

Line up the rear cover with the battery socket.

Make sure that the two halves of the fob are flush together at every edge.

Re-attach the key ring and the ignition key.

To test the new battery, stand near your minivan and press the "Unlock" or "Lock" buttons on the fob.

If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash and hear the door locks opening or closing.

Be sure to record the battery change in your vehicle's service records.
