Normal Operation
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors is accomplished by the smart junction box (SJB) receiving a command message from the RKE transmitter located on the integrated key. On vehicles not equipped with a memory feature, the SJB sends a signal directly to all of the door latches. On vehicles equipped with the memory feature, the SJB sends a controller area network (CAN) message to the driver door module (DDM). The DDM sends a signal directly to the LH front door latch. The SJB sends a signal to the RH front, LH rear and RH rear door latches.

DTC B1139 - is a continuous DTC that sets when the SJB detects that an RKE transmitter is attempting to be programmed with a transmitter identification code value of 00 00 00 00.

DTC B2276 - is an on-demand DTC that sets when the SJB detects that there is zero or one RKE transmitter programmed.

Possible Causes
- SJB antenna
- RKE transmitter battery
- RKE transmitter programming
- RKE transmitter
- Aftermarket systems
- High power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- SJB
