The LOW battery detection is handled inside the transmitter. The transmitter sends a battery condition signal to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) when the transmitter buttons are pressed.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B3109 Keyless Entry Transmitter Low Battery
This code shall be set after 3 consecutive low battery signals from the same programmed transmitter.
The body control module (BCM) stores DTC B3109 in memory.
This code is cleared as current when a normal transmitter voltage signal is received from any programmed transmitter.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
This step identifies the key fob # (transmitter) with a low battery signal.
This step verifies that the battery replacement corrected the fault.
