Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview






DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - KEYLESS GO SYSTEM

If the Keyless Go (KG) feature is inoperative, it may be caused by an invalid FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK), or a FOBIK with a dead battery. Additionally if the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) is inoperative, the KG will also be inoperative.

The message center displays the following messages when certain conditions are met.

- Key FOB Battery Low - Displayed when the battery in the FOBIK is low. At this point the Keyless Go function should still operate, but the battery should be replaced soon.
- Key FOB Not Detected - Displayed when a valid FOBIK could not be detected inside the vehicle
- Push Pedal + Button to Start - Displayed when one enters the vehicle.
- Service Keyless System - Displayed when there is a problem with the KG system.
- Vehicle Not in Park - Displayed when shutting off the vehicle while the transmission is not in the PARK position.

For further information, refer to the proper diagnostic information.
