Normal Operation
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors is accomplished by the vehicle security module receiving a command message from the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. The vehicle security module processes the command and sends a signal directly to the door lock actuators.

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

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

Possible Causes
- RKE transmitter battery
- RKE transmitter programming
- RKE transmitter
- aftermarket systems
- high power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- vehicle security module
