Test E: The Illuminated Entry Is Inoperative When Using The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter/Keyless Entry Keypad

PINPOINT TEST E: THE ILLUMINATED ENTRY IS INOPERATIVE WHEN USING THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) TRANSMITTER/KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD


E1-E2:






Normal Operation
The illuminated entry feature is activated by the smart junction box (SJB). The SJB receives a signal transmitted by the RKE transmitter. The SJB then grounds the control side of the battery saver relay and the interior lamp relay. When the relays are energized, voltage is supplied to the interior lamps through circuit 53 (BK/LB).

Possible Causes
- Keyless entry keypad
- RKE Transmitter
- SJB
