Test O: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Has Poor Range Performance

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

O1-O3:

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

All RKE transmitters must be present to begin diagnosis of the RKE system.


An aftermarket or dealer-installed system may adversely affect the RKE system operation. These systems should be disconnected before diagnosing any RKE concerns.

Possible Causes
- aftermarket systems
- high power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- RKE transmitter
- DDM
