Keyless Entry Transmitter Test

Keyless Entry Transmitter Test

NOTE:

- If the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.
- If any door is open, you cannot lock the doors with the transmitter.
- If you unlocked the doors with the transmitter, but do not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the doors relock automatically. Opening the trunk does not cancel this function; only an open door signal cancels the automatic relock.
