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:

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

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).

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
