Today we will explain in a simple and quick way how to replace the battery of the Opel Corsa using the OBD memory tool so that after the replacement you do not have to enter the radio code or reprogram the opening key. We get on board the car and insert the OBD memory tool into the OBD socket, located behind the central dashboard of the car, and connect the memory tool cables to an external 12 volt battery; then we open the front hood and using a 10mm key we remove the negative terminal block.

We lift the cover of the positive terminal junction and unscrew the block.

We release the box cover and using a 10mm key we unscrew the positive cable terminal from the battery. After removing the sheath around the battery and removing the fixing clamp, we extract the battery from its housing.

We then insert the new battery and position the sheath to prevent the battery from being damaged during vehicle movements, then we connect the positive terminal block to the battery using a 10mm key. We close the battery cover and tighten the negative terminal block using a 10mm key. After removing the battery, we get on board the car and remove the OBD memory tool.

We start the car and check not only that the battery works correctly but that it is not necessary to enter the radio unlock code.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
