If your Toyota remote is acting sluggish—you have to stand closer to the car, press the button twice, or the car doesn’t register the key in the ignition—the battery inside the fob is likely dying. Replacing it takes about 5 minutes and costs under $5. Most Toyota key fobs use a CR2032 or CR1632 coin-cell…
