Keyless Entry System Malfunction

The keyless entry will unlock the vehicle doors or open the rear compartment when a corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the keyless entry transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver, which then sends the signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function. A low transmitter battery or radio frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices such as 2-way radios, power inverters, cellular phone chargers, computers, etc. may cause a system malfunction. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use pay-at-the-pump RF transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.

When the vehicle key is in the ignition, the keyless entry functions are disabled from all keyless entry transmitters.

2. If the transmitter is incorrect

   Replace the transmitter.

3. If the transmitter is correct

[/ARW-LISTPASS]
4. Operate the transmitter while observing the appropriate scan tool Key Fob Function parameter for the appropriate transmitter.
5. Verify the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the function selected on the transmitter.
[ARW-LISTFAIL]

6. If the Key Fob Function parameter does not correspond with the transmitter selection

[/ARW-LISTFAIL]

Note: Before replacing the transmitter, inspect the transmitter battery contacts for any corrosion or damage. If no corrosion or damage is found, replace the transmitter battery and retest before replacing the battery.

3.1.	Replace the transmitter.

3.2.	Operate the transmitter while observing the appropriate scan tool Key Fob Function parameter for the appropriate transmitter.

3.3.	Verify the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter correspond with the function selected on the transmitter.

3.4.

All OK.

9. If the Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the transmitter selection

[/ARW-LISTPASS]
10. All OK.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
