A new essential tool, J 43241 Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Tester, has been sent to all GM Dealers. This tester can be used on all RKE and PKE systems, on past as well as current models.
Important:
Before using the tester and the diagnostic chart, the following two steps must be performed.
1. Verify that the keyless entry transmitter is the correct model for the vehicle remote system. An incorrect model transmitter may pass this test, but may not activate the vehicle remote system. The correct transmitter can usually be identified by part number.
2. Ensure that the transmitter is synchronized with the vehicle (if applicable). Refer to Transmitter Synchronization in the appropriate Service Manual.
