Normal Operation
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors is accomplished by the smart junction box (SJB) when it receives a command message from the RKE transmitter. The SJB processes the command message and energizes the appropriate lock/unlock relay to lock or unlock the doors. The RKE transmitter has a maximum operating range of up to 10 m (33 ft).

Possible Causes
- Aftermarket systems
- High power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
