Component Tests and General Diagnostics

1. Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries (Refer to POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMITTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT). Test each of the RKE transmitter functions again. 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. (Refer to POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING).
3. Test the RKE system operation with both transmitters. If both RKE transmitters fail to operate the power locks, see the diagnosis for the Remote Keyless Entry Module(Refer to POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the known good RKE transmitter operates the power locks and the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty RKE 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 RKE module.
