INFORMATION

Subject:
Shortened Range with Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) Transmitter

Models:
1993-96 Chevrolet Corvette

Customers may comment that the Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) range is very short at times - sometimes almost zero. At other times, the range will be normal.

This can be caused by interference generated by electronic devices such as cellular phones and laptop computers, especially if they are connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

If the above comment is received, be sure to turn off and unplug any portable electronic equipment before beginning diagnostic procedures on the PKE system.
