PINPOINT TEST J: THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) TRANSMITTER HAS POOR RANGE PERFORMANCE

J1-J5:

Normal Operation
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors is accomplished by the vehicle security module (VSM) receiving a command message from the RKE transmitter. The VSM processes the command and sends a signal directly to the door lock actuators. The RKE transmitter has a normal operating range of 10 m (33 ft).

Possible Causes
- VSM external antenna
- Aftermarket systems
- High power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- RKE transmitter
- VSM
