RKE TRANSMITTER TROUBLESHOOTING (OMRON ONLY)

If an RKE transmitter will not lock or unlock vehicle doors, transmitter replacement may not be necessary. The battery may be dead or missing. Perform the following steps before replacing the transmitter:

1. Press each button on the transmitter. If the red indicator lamp comes on when each button is pressed, the transmitter is functioning properly. Do not replace the transmitter if the indicator light comes on with each button press.

2. If the red indicator lamp does not come on when each button is pressed, replace the battery or batteries.

3. Check the transmitter function again. The indicator light should come on with each button press. If it does not, replace the transmitter.

4. If you replace the transmitter, program the new transmitter.
