Power Lock & Remote Keyless Entry System Test

As a preliminary diagnosis for vehicles with the power lock and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) systems (high-line or premium versions of the Central Timer Module), note the system operation while you actuate both the Lock and Unlock functions with the power lock switches and the RKE transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
- If the entire power lock system fails to function with either the power lock switches or the RKE transmitter, check the fuses in the junction block.
- If the power lock system functions with both power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmitter, see Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter in the Diagnosis and Testing.
- If the entire power lock system functions with the RKE transmitter, but not with one or both of the power lock switches, see Power Lock Switch in the Diagnosis and Testing.
- If one power lock motor fails to operate with both of the power lock switches and/or the RKE transmitter, see Power Lock Motor in the Diagnosis and Testing.

If the problem being diagnosed involves only the RKE horn chirp or panic mode features, see Horn Relay and/or Headlamp Relay in the Diagnosis and Testing. If both of these relays check OK, further diagnosis should be performed using a DRB III scan tool.
