SUBJECT: REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS


MODELS AFFECTED: 1989 RIVIERAS AND REATTAS


Some 1989 Rivieras and Reattas equipped with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) may not operate beneath garage door opener receiver. The RKE system operates using a transmitter that communicates with a receiver located beneath the package shelf. The RKE receiver may be receiving signals from the garage door opener receiver of great enough strength to "jam" it, making it unable to receive signals from the RKE transmitter. To verify this condition, unplug the garage door opener receiver and check RKE operation. If the RKE system still does not operate, pursue diagnosis in Section 9K of the Service Information Manual. If the RKE system works properly with the garage door opener receiver unplugged, the system is operating properly and no attempt should be made to correct this condition.
