Flow Chart No. 8: Transmitter/Remote Entry Inoperative

Flow Chart No. 8 - Symptom - Transmitter/remote entry inoperative.

Remote entry range may be affected when operated within 0.4 km (0.25 mile) of some radio or TV towers. Although the range is reduced at these locations, the owner should still be able to enter the vehicle using the remote transmitter.

Step 1
Check transmitter/remote entry operation.
1. Turn ignition off, then perform self test for the GEM module, Flow Chart No. 1 to ensure that the RAP module has power.
2. Press each button on remote entry transmitter fob while standing 10 meters (33 feet) away from vehicle and confirm that operation is as described.

PAGE REFERENCE:

3. Was there an appropriate response for each button pressed?

Step 2
Check for any response from transmitter No. 1.




1. Does system respond to any button pressed from transmitter in question when standing closer or inside of vehicle?

Step 3
Antenna check.
1. Check that while testing for 10-meter (33-foot) range of remote entry system that the vehicle is more than 0.8 km (0.5 mile) away from radio or TV towers. If closer than 0.8 km (0.5 mile) away from radio or TV tower, a 5-meter (16-foot) range is acceptable.
2. Check to see if the antenna connecting to the RAP module is fully seated or missing. Connect antenna or press it in fully into RAP module.
3. Test range with transmitter.




4. Has range improved?

Step 4
Antenna damage check.
1. Disconnect antenna from RAP module, then check for less than 10 ohms of resistance from antenna signal pin to opposite end of antenna coax center conductor.
2. Reconnect antenna to RAP module.




3. Is resistance less than 10 ohms?

Step 5
Check RAP module for export remote shorting bar.
1. Enter in NGS: RAP PID/DATA and select NOREMOT.




2. Does NOREMOT PID display OFF?
