PINPOINT TEST 9: THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER HAS POOR RANGE PERFORMANCE - HYBRID
Normal Operation
The remote keyless entry (RKE) integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) sends a radio signal to the smart junction box (SJB) based on the user selected IKT button. The SJB then carries out the selected action. The RKE transmitter has a normal operating range of 10 m (33 ft).
Possible Causes
- IKT
- IKT battery
- Aftermarket systems
- High power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- SJB
Diagnostic Procedure
NOTE: All IKTs must be present to begin diagnosis of the RKE system.
NOTE: Aftermarket or dealer-installed systems may adversely affect RKE system operation. These systems must be disconnected before diagnosing any RKE concerns.
