Keyless Entry System Malfunction - Active

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.

1. Verify that the transmitter is a correct transmitter for the vehicle. This can be accomplished by comparing the part number printed on the transmitter to the appropriate part number in the parts catalogue.

⇒	If the transmitter is incorrect

Replace the transmitter.

⇓	If the transmitter is correct

2. Operate the transmitter while observing the appropriate scan tool Key Fob Function parameter for the appropriate transmitter.
3. Verify the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the function selected on the transmitter.

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

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.

⇒	If the Key Fob Function parameter does not correspond with the transmitter selection, replace the K9 BCM

⇓	If the Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the transmitter selection

3.4.

All OK.

⇓	If the Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the transmitter selection

4. All OK.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
