Pinpoint Test A: The Alarm System Does Not Arm/Disarm - Using The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) receives lock/unlock commands from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The SJB then arms/disarms the perimeter alarm system.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- RKE transmitter concern
- SJB



PINPOINT TEST A: THE ALARM SYSTEM DOES NOT ARM/DISARM - USING THE RKE TRANSMITTER

NOTE: All RKE transmitters must be present before diagnosing the RKE system.

-------------------------------------------------
A1 CHECK THE LOCK FUNCTION USING THE RKE TRANSMITTER


- Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons of the RKE transmitter.
- Do the door locks lock and unlock using the RKE transmitter?

Yes
GO to A2.

No
REFER to Doors, Hood and Trunk &/or Locks.

-------------------------------------------------
A2 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION


- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Body Control Systems. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
