DTC Descriptors
DTC B3124 02
- Keyless Entry Antenna 6 Short to Ground

DTC B3124 05
- Keyless Entry Antenna 6 High Voltage/Open

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The rear compartment antenna is located on the rear compartment floor near the seat back, centered, and is used to establish low frequency communications with the keyless entry transmitter. When the driver attempts to change the ignition status of the vehicle, the keyless entry control module communicates with the rear compartment antenna.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The touch pad in the driver door or passenger door handle is touched within 15 minutes of any door ajar status changing.
* Any exterior door handle or handles is pulled.
* The last door becomes closed.
* Pressing the start/stop switch.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3124 02

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

B3124 05

The keyless entry control module detects a short to B+ or an open on the rear compartment keyless entry antenna signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Vehicle will not detect the transmitter in some locations inside the vehicle. If the transmitter is not detected then vehicle will not change ignition modes when start/stop button is pressed.

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 Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T10E rear compartment 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. Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch. Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is OL or 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.

5. 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.
6. Activate the antenna by pressing the rear closure touch pad. 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.

7. If all circuits test normal, replace the T10E rear compartment keyless entry antenna. Verify DTC B3124 is not set.

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