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
