I had the same message the other day. I replaced my battery at a local Radio Shack store. Initially I had difficulty getting the new battery to seat properly but finally I got the FOB to work again. The manual said to hit the lock button 4 times in sucession for the system to recognize the new battery (establish signal strength I assume to compare with the signal over time or how else does the car recognize that the battery is going??) I cleared the SID everytime I used the key with the old battery. After the signal test ie the 4 lock signals the SID no longer reports a Replace the battery. We were using the backup key through before the first notification and after the signal test and we got no reports from the SID since. Thus the car seems to have accepted the new battery in the primary FOB. Good luck. Maybe you need to set the backup key signal strength as well if used for the first time after the notification on the primary key. Don't know but doesn't take much to hit the lock button 4 times.
