* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions)provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors
DTC B3119 02
- Keyless Entry Antenna 1 Short to Ground

DTC B3119 05
- Keyless Entry Antenna 1 High Voltage/Open

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The driver door handle antenna is located in the driver door handle assembly and is used to establish low frequency communications with the keyless entry transmitter. As a vehicle with locked doors is approached with a keyless entry transmitter and the exterior door handle is pulled, the keyless entry control module communicates with the driver door handle keyless entry antenna.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The touch pad in the driver door handle is touched within 15 minutes of last door closing.
* The front or rear door handle on the driver side is pulled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3119 02

The keyless entry control module detects a short to ground on the driver door keyless entry antenna signal circuit.

B3119 05

The keyless entry control module detects a short to voltage or an open on the driver door keyless entry antenna signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Doors will not unlock when front or rear driver handle is pulled. Doors will not lock with touch pad.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC will clear when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
* A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Verify DTC B3122, B3123, or B3124 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).

Circuit/System Testing

Note: The A24D driver exterior door handle assembly has two harness connectors. Of these two harness connectors, make sure that only the T10M driver door handle keyless entry antenna harness connector is disconnected. Disconnecting both harness connectors will result in the inability to activate the antenna and cause an improper diagnosis.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T10M driver door handle keyless entry antenna.
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

3. Ignition OFF, install a DMM between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Set the DMM to capture DC voltage using the MIN MAX function.
4. Lock the vehicle doors using the keyless entry transmitter.
5. Activate the antenna by pulling the driver exterior door handle. Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than.5 V.

If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

6. Install a DMM between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Set the DMM to capture DC voltage using the MIN MAX function.
7. Lock the vehicle doors using the keyless entry transmitter.
8. Activate the antenna by pulling the driver exterior door handle. Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than.5 V.

If less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

Note: Install the A24D driver exterior door handle assembly and verify correct system operation BEFORE painting the assembly. If the assembly does not correct the concern, return the unpainted part.

9. If all circuits test normal, replace the A24D driver exterior door handle assembly. Verify DTC B3119 is not set.

If the DTC is set, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Front Side Door Outside Handle Bracket Replacement (Service and Repair)
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning)for keyless entry control module replacement, setup, and programming
