Keyless Entry Transmitter: Testing and Inspection

1. Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries. Test each of the transmitter functions. If OK, discard the faulty batteries. If not OK, go to Step 2.
2. Perform the RKE transmitter programming procedure with the suspect transmitter and another known good transmitter using a DRB scan tool, as described in the proper Computers and Control Systems/Body Control Module/Testing and Inspection Procedures.
3. Test the RKE system operation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail to operate the power lock system, see the proper Computers and Control Systems/Body Control Module/Testing and Inspection Procedures for diagnosis of the RKE system. If the known good transmitter operates the power locks and the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty transmitter.

NOTE: Be certain to perform the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming procedure again following this test. This procedure will erase the access code of the test transmitter from the remote keyless entry receiver.
